Do these regrowing ribs curve correctly to fit with the rest of the ribcage?

They only regrow partially in humans, so curvature is not a serious issue in humans.

In rats they do, because they use the intact perichondrium as scaffold.

Not so fast wyzas, The bible does not establish science. It rather makes very bold statements to people who have never heard of science thousands of years ago. It's a very old book and cannot change--ever! So you sit there and throw darts at it because your so fucking smart!? Dude! The only thing is you will only discover that you are a wyzas because you listen to stupid people whom claim to understand what the bible says--STUPIDLY!

Back away from the mushrooms, you are incoherent. Panic

I had a wishbone removed when I was young.
It did grow back, but in the wrong place.

Your wish was not worthy.

Every bone is a wishbone.
You just have to remember to make the wish just after it cracks.
Usually you're to busy thinking about hospitals and stuff.

Also that the bone marrow of the rib bone is an excellent source of multipotent stem cells. And yes, I know that they are not pluripotent.

Grow only partially back, and only if the bone is not totally removed. Under a slightly different set of "right" circumstances, other bones can be made to grow partially back too.

Actually, rib bones are old school, way older then the USC findings of mice by at least a decade. Hard to find outside of the case studies in medical journals. Yet, "other bones potentially, even partial, growing back" is, as you say, "cutting edge". But, the mere fact that this is so hard, regarding rib bones only, to discover is perplexing to me. Why is so little revealed when they've been doing it for so long? Rhetorical
