This lizard's DNA might hold the key to regenerating human tissue
The humble green anole has but a few claims to fame: it was featured on the cover of the very first Animorphs book, and it can self-amputate and regrow its tail after coming face to face with a predator. It's that latter ability that's tickled the scientific community's fancy (though c'mon, Animorphs was really good), and now researchers claim to have cracked the genetic code behind the anole's little trick. Turns out, the key to the anole's near-Whovian regeneration ability are 326 genes that come into play once the tail has been detached, and Arizona State University's Dr. Kenro Kusumi thinks a better understanding of that process might ultimately lead to a way to regenerate lost or damaged human tissue.
Clan of Conan Issue 14 highlights
With Age of Conan creeping closer and closer on our collective calendars, it seems that each month there's more fat to chew with the Clan of Conan newsletters. We're a big fan of the newsletters here at Massively and its great to see them keep coming for in-development titles such as Age of Conan. Hopefully some of the other upcoming massively game developers will take notice -- these things make us incredibly happy. Anyhow, we've got a nicely organized list for all your AoC informational needs just after the break.
