"It is particularly noteworthy that MSI-1436 stimulates tissue regeneration in both zebrafish and adult mice, two widely divergent species that are separated by approximately 450 million years of evolution."

"Importantly, the doses we have shown to be effective in stimulating tissue regeneration are 5–50-times lower than the maximum well-tolerated human dose."

Wait till the mice hear about this one!
