Scientists have discovered the extra cellular matrix from pig bladder has the ability to regrow tissue. The man shown in the video lost the end of his finger from the propeller of an RC plane. He sprinkled the dried pig’s bladder onto the severed end and in 4 weeks his finger was whole again.

This video is about what is called “The Skin Gun” which helps repair damaged tissue. A very interesting watch.

Both of these videos was featured on the National Geographic channel. If there is a way to watch the whole program, I would advise doing so.
