If a persons face is destroyed in an accident, the surgeon will remove a rib to reconstruct the face. If they need more bone, in a few months they will remove the same rib which grows back. They will remove it as many times as is necessary.(July 28, 2019 at 4:18 am)Haipule Wrote: If I say that the rib bone of a human contains multipotent stem cells: science doesn't disagree.Correct. Sort of.
The biggest detail, you neglected to mention, is that the quantity in marrow is very small. Plus, those stem cells are not "potent". They have a limited range as to what they can become.

If you mean the marrow inside the bone will regenerate, then yes, that is correct.
If you're saying that a bone will grow back if it's removed, science totally disagrees. A removed bone is gone, permanently. And a removed rib will not "regrow" into a human, it will just die. At even a rediculous best case scenerio, the rib will just grow more rib.
Google it.
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
