Summary:

The U.S. military has given $3.7 million to help University of Pittsburgh scientists in their efforts to regrow human limbs.
The research already under way at Pitt's McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine one day could benefit soldiers who underwent single or multiple amputations.

Commentary: Hopefully this will lead to new breakthroughs in regenerative medicine that help improve the lives of people with debilitating amputations and other injuries.
