Research on this specific topic has been minimal given its controversial nature. However, extensive research has been done on both the use of stem cells to regenerate damaged organs and on nanotechnology in the field of medicine. The idea of using stem cells for the the purpose of regenerating organs was born in the early 21st century. Scientists studied creatures that were able to regenerate whole body parts in hopes of understanding how such a remarkable feat of biology could be applied to the human body. This research also revealed the amazing ability of the human liver to regenerate itself when a segment of it was removed. Though it never resumes its original shape, it regains its original mass.
