In our first episode for 2022, we catch on some amazing science from over the break. Claire brings us the full story of the first successful transplant into a human of a heart from a genetically modified pig, and Stu tells us how it's possible to get frogs to regrow amputated limbs, raising the possibility of humans also regenerating from damage.
