Hopefully they patch that in the next update.

That's why I make sure that I stagger my leg growth. Sometimes I forget and end up with four legs...

@@SayAhh So you're a centaur now?

🤣🤣🤣

HAHAHAHAHAHA

yessssss

update: I want horns.

Reminds me always of Faith and "Only youuuu....."

They're already real, they all hang out in Sasquatch's garden

"Them"? The giant ants? And you're saying it like jackalopes aren't real. I've seen pictures of them. I've seen stuffed heads and stuffed whole bodies. Why wouldn't they be real?

Oh no ive eaten a druid?!

What does that even mean

yea when i heard cells with "higher concentration of growth factors" i instantly though cancer

Stem cell: "Hello, I am here to build some antlers." Bone cells: "The f* you do, buddy, we have an emergency and need all hands on deck. You take Jeremy here and go to work. Fix that damn bone!"

@@nathanielausten1577 So did I.

That would be nice

Teeth aren't bones!

@@ancientswordrage Fair point, although it seems reasonable to think this will be a huge step towards enamel regeneration.

@@ancientswordrageNeither is skin, and it helped with that.

Big dentistry is trialing a treatment to regrow teeth this year.ssooooooo....

Probably doesn't mean much from some internet random, but I hope his surgery went well and his recovery is as smooth as can be.

@DSlyde thank you. The surgeon said it's gone well. I have mixed feelings about his doctors though.

I mean objectively growing back an entire limb that’s a whole other story. Yeah that’s some tough luck but you still alive to tell the tale so Darwin says that’s a win.

Very sorry to hear of your friend. I wish them all the best. One direction of research would be combine modified antler stem cells, with pig extra-cellular matrix (pixie dust) 3D printed. If the tech can be progressed, your friend may be able to regrow their limb later on in life. Could something vets worldwide would be very interested in supporting.

yes, ungulates can have two completely different types of "horns". antlers are grown and shed each year, out of bone and skin, while horns are permanent and grown from keratin, like your fingernails. sheep and goats and rhinos all have keratin-based horns. Then there are "tusks" which are actually elongated teeth. This is what elephants and narwhals have, for example. All examples of parallel evolution.

Having had this same surgery just under 6 months ago, please give your mother my best wishes in her recovery. Plus: GO TO PT RELIGIOUSLY and DO THE EXERCISES!

Wish you and your Mom the best and a speedy recovery 🤞

"reverse shoulder replacement" sounds like a euphemism amputation

@@Avendesora Y'know, the first time I heard this term I had a hard time wrapping my head around it as well. I am a long term (as in starting at under 3 years old) orthopaedic patient, and in total have had 16 orthopaedic surgeries, including hips, knees, shoulders, and even one wrist. Add to that - I have nearly 40 years in the medical profession before retirement. I had to have a detailed explanation, and then I looked it up. Rather than get into a lengthy explanation here, I suggest you look on YT for the term. Given my history, I hope, for the sake of other orthopaedic patients to come, that the deer antler stem cell research works to prevent such a surgical history as befell me.

Science hippies break rabbits legs and cut out chunks of mouse skin? You know that’s what it took to see they could be healed, right? Maybe I’m not getting a joke?

​​@@chrisfleming701 It's a term zefrank uses in his videos. His videos are quite amusing and he means it endearingly.

I think this is why there's different words for them. Deer being common in England means the English picked up on horns and antlers being different when butchering them, I guess? Otoh it's all "horn" in Swedish and we've got plenty of deer. hm.

@@GustavSvard I live in Brazil. We have similar animals but they don't have antlers.

@@adilsongoliveira Fun fact: The primal deer did not have antlers, but they did have elongated canine teeth. Even today there are some extant deers / deer relatives with those vampire teeth but no or only very small antlers.

Antlers are one of those things in nature that seem to make be normal. I mean if a lizard can grow back a tail some antlers don’t seem far fetched. Until you learn enough about biology to realise hold on a minute that doesn’t add up. Same reason we have sonar, whales communicate by sound nothing anormal there but ask enough questions about how they do it and you can replicate it. I mean a sperm whale is so loud it can vibrate you to death if it wants to, how the hell can a bunch of organic matter do that 😂

​@@adilsongoliveiraYou actually do have 2 deer types. The pampas deer and the marsh deer. I just looked up to be sure it's in the area and yes. The males also have antlers for them. Though it's still something most of the time not really talked about in school and if you aren't particularly interested in deer, you likely won't know these things. Like I never was taught even though I live in Europe and have seen plenty of deer in the wild, but up until someone mentioned that the antlers and horns are different I never thought about it. I was just like yeah they are horns that are re-grown for some reason.

Lol

It is pretty awesome.

That was my main take away from this: "So... you're saying that I could have antlers? That sounds really inconveient and cumbersome. Where do I sign up?"

We could all live as elvish forest creatures

Sure, furry avatar, i totally believe you've never wanted animal features before...

I hope so! Do we get a tail and hooves for feet and everything?

deer furry here, I get injured a lot and tend to heal fairly quickly, so there's probably some link :)

Dude, you could become a forest guardian or a superhero. It like x-men x beastars.

@@node_deer, See, proof everyone needs horns, a tail and hooves!

I fail to see the drawback.

It's a large part of the body, so yeah.

An organ is a large collection of cells that preforms a task. The bones hold you up, the skin covers you up, the lungs breathes, the heart pumps, the gallbladder does something, and antlers are battle weapons. So yes, they are organs.

Your skin is also an organ... you just don't think about it in that sense.

@@catherinebaldwin6580 I think the gallbladder excretes bile which helps to break down fats in your food.

​​@@johannageisel5390the bile is excreted by hepatocytes in the liver but the gallbladder does store it and release it into the digestive tract when digesting meals with a lot of fat.

Exactly, they can make meat in a lab- give the bunny antlers!!

Um, wait. Like in your body or just like you slapped some deer velvet on your skin?

Unless you ate the velvet or somehow took it intravenously, it probably did nothing. Just placing it on your shoulder definitely would not do anything for an internal injury (apart from being extremely soft and comfy). If it had done something, you'd have recovered much faster: repairing a muscle tear shouldn't take more than a few months at the absolute max. It's a deceptive kind of injury, because it creates a crazy amount of pain for how trivial the injury is. But the reason for this is that your body *really* wants you to get the message that you must not move that muscle or else it won't recover properly. That being said, it is at least possible the velvet has stem cells in it. It isn't normal skin: it's a lot more like an endometrial lining (the smell gives this away, the stuff smells like raw uncured sausage just as fresh menstrual blood does). As we now know, those are full of stem cells: so it's at least theoretically possible the same is true of antler velvet. If that is true, it would genuinely help with healing open wounds and burns. Antler velvet has been used in traditional medicine for a long time, and this wouldn't be the first time science has taken an aggregiously long time to discover why a folk remedy works. On the other hand, don't go around claiming that this is a surefire treatment for anything or collecting velvet strips to sell. You haven't run a controlled experiment, so you don't *know* anything for certain yet. This is all conjecture and hypothesis. And experimenting on yourself could be a tad dangerous as the stem cells might also cause cysts or warts to grow, or your body might reject the foreign cells in their raw form (i.e. You might have the symptoms of a severe allergic reaction which could be deadly if you are far away from a medical facility). So, you know #NotMedicalAdvice, #UseAtYourOwnRisk.

it was in liquid form@@solsystem1342

@@sophiejones3554eating the velvet would just denature the proteins in your stomach, so that is a no go as well. taking it "intravenously" would likely result in a huge immune response, which could also kill you. not recommended. So yeah, unless you literally got scientists to grow a stem cell line for you... this is nothing but BS and they are ripping you off.

I assume that's the next research step.

"summer body"

I love it. Plant or animal, we all share one mother, Earth. That's how I think of convergent evolution. Wouldn't it be something to see that on another planet too and see what we have in common in terms of evolution

Deciduous * but I got you 😉

@ryanstevens0398 thank you. Spelling is not my forte.

"Deer are nature's trees."

Elephants are actually mating with others without tusks because of poachers. Supposedly we have many elephants that don't have tusks at all because of that. I wish ppl would stop buying and selling ivory products. Ivory Soap, on the other hand, go nuts.

Out of my uncle's stew pot.

Come here and lemme tell you, Lennie.

The scientists probably broke those femurs. I hope the bunnies got pain killers or anesthesia at least.

Spam bot comment. This was originally commented by: @caseyleichter2309

Yeah, the growth factor seems like a potential cancer risk

Eh, you need to take some risks if you want superpowers.

Hard to say how long they were allowed to live, some could still be alive for all we know. Let’s not forget researchers first broke their legs and cut out chunks of skin to see if they could heal them. I love science but sometimes it makes me sick.

Spam bot comment. Copied a comment from an hour before

I wish they would figure out the whole blood cancer issue when dealing with certain advanced genetic therapies.

That’s the cool thing about science. You could propose this all day, but until it is confirmed and repeated it’s just a hypothesis!

It's probably a lot more complex than just growth factors. Several tissue types need to regrow in a coordinated manner and they do that faster than organs grow during childhood.

The HD TV disagrees

who knows what plants and animals WE could help down the road.

@@thomasneal9291 true!

Deerborgs 😂😂😂

trust me that is NOT a dealbreaker

Not a full rack but a couple of pronghorns could be kind of cute on a lot of girls!

Deer make recovering from uncontrolled cellular growth look easy!

It's like all those psoriasis Rx drugs that will cause your body to be more prone to tuberculosis infections.

Scary thought

explain "complex" here

He had to shed his hair in order to grow it anew, just like deer antlers.

More teeth? Not regrow teeth, but just get an entire extra row of teeth? You'd do better using shark DNA for that.

that's why they keep testing this entire thing, you know

There is a reason any animal testing needs to first pass by a strict ethics committee, you really need to prove you have reason to expect massive benefits before you're allowed to hurt animals for the greater good. Curing all injuries several times faster, quickly (re-)growing organs, and learning a lot about cancer were probably some of the arguments used by the scientists. Oh and most science hippies are bleeding hearts, while they understand the reason for their work, quite a few cry when killing their test subjects.

OMG PLEASE YES LET ME BE A LAB RAT IN THIS ONE THING
