Israeli doctors are literally growing bones outside of the body, which can be transplanted into patients, permitting them to walk again!

While it sounds like the stuff of science fiction, Israeli researchers have developed a process to grow bones in laboratory conditions that can be used to help people with injuries, disease, or age-related deterioration. Such patients are walking normally again and can even return to exercise and sports.

The lab-grown bone has been so successful, one patient, who almost lost his leg to a fracture in a car accident, was even able to return to Iron Man competitions and other intense ctivities.

Check out this incredible medical breakthrough in action!
