Yeah.
So here's what we've done, right?
So we've more or less solved that in frogs.
So frogs, unlike salamanders, do not regenerate their legs as adults.
And so we've shown that with a very kind of simple intervention.
So what we do is there's two things.
You need to have a signal that tells the cells what to do, and then you need some way of delivering it.
And so this is work together with David Kaplan, and I should do a disclosure here.
We have a company called Morphoceuticals and a spinoff.
where we're trying to address limb regeneration.
So we've solved it in the frog and we're now in trials in mice.
So now we're going to order in mammals now.
I can't say anything about how it's going, but the frog thing is solved.
Yeah, basically.
Basically, yeah.
Yeah.
So what you do is we did we did with legs instead of forearms.
And what you do is after amputation, normally they don't regenerate.
You put on a wearable bioreactor.
So it's this thing that that goes on.
