    "The reformed skin even included fur..." :) That said, the whole premise is very interesting: "When performing emergency life-saving surgery in utero, Longaker and his colleagues observed that when those babies were born they did not have any scars from the surgery."

  “Driskell's team used a new technique called single cell RNA sequencing to compare genes and cells in developing and adult skin.” This reminds me of a way I’ve debugged unfamiliar features in complex software systems.

  This can be one way to stay looking youthful. The problem is that your bone structure changes as you age. So you’ll end up 80 years old, with baby smooth skin, but still look like an 80 year old. It like you’ll just walk around with someone photoshopping your face.
