The results of a 2020 study, published in the journal Science, suggest that mammals that have lost the ability to regenerate organs may still contain some regenerative genes.
On top of that, it may be possible to harness the rapid growth of antlers in other ways that could prove vital to researchers.
These so-called ‘mini antlers’ grow at around 2.75cm per day, making it one of the fastest regenerating tissues in the animal kingdom.
Mammals in general have lost the ability to regenerate organs and most other tissues for that matter, so the antlers could certainly provide a unique insight into how regenerative medicine for bones could work.

Was expecting to see a mouse with antlers, left the site disappointed.
How does the article not have a picture of the mice antlers?
Also, when will the trial for people antlers begin? We’ll finally solve the problem of people who want antlers. What a time to be alive!
And then, cat ears.
Haven’t you seen the documentary Sweet Tooth?
It’ll give people.somehere to.put all the headgear until someone invents some kind of stand for.them.
I saw the main photo and was like that’s awesome then I scrolled further down that is fucked up.
Poor guys… :(
sigh guess we’re still ways away from me growing horns
Do it with a rabbit and make Jackalopes real!
Next step is cat girls and cat boys
Just waiting for the Scrooged reboot announcement
Have you tried staples?
Goddammit, scientists, mice are horny enough already!
