Future publications
Findings and publication of the Indiana Center for Regenerative Medicine and Engineering’s work will herald a major shift in interpreting tissue data obtained from living versus dead organisms as well how biomedical research is conducted in the future. This could have broad impact in closely allied fields, including medicine, therapeutics, and transplantation. Some areas have…

Our commitment
In the spirit of Sir John’s passionate quest for discovery through the rich diversity of human thought, we seek to test these hypotheses with the rigorous and advanced tools available to us as modern-day scientists. Discovering how to turn on and off “death-inspired” tissue reprogramming could give people access to life saving interventions, correct genetic…

Pruss illustrates this point further using a steak as an example.
Whose steak is it? Pruss further shares two key assumptions: Say you own “carbon atom” – a part of steak, and Pruss devours the atom or bite of steak, so it becomes a part of his body.

Does death really mean the end of our existence in all forms?
We assert when an organism dies, certain component cells oppose the systemic death decision and seek to survive in their simplest unit of life. This thought process:
