      I’m not exactly sure what you mean by ‘rapid’. But scientists are trying to work out how to regenerate the cells in our body, and I would guess that they will be successful relatively soon. One way that they can do this is to study lizards and other animals which are naturally able to regrow limbs!

      I really don’t know, sorry. I know that it is an area that is being researched but we are a very long way away from Wolverine like super powers.
