This paper is from 2010. Can the OP discuss why this is relevant today.

Because of today's news https://www1-folha-uol-com-br.translate.goog/equilibrioesaud...

I don't know what's wilder, regaining full functionality in spinal cord injuries or that URL.

Tangentially: There's interesting research out there indicating that cellular repair is guided and promoted by the local electrical fields from surrounding tissues.

For example: "Treating Scars After Burns With Pulsed Electric Fields in the Rat Model" - https://academic.oup.com/jbcr/article-abstract/45/6/1553/772...

I wonder if we (or at least, our descendants) will figure out limb regrowth before we figure out functional immortality.

So much stuff seems to work in rats and mice but not people.

Perhaps we should genetically move humanity over time to be more rat like.

Not sure on limbs, but for fast bone and tooth repair it works.
