Question
1]Is posible for bones to be regenerated? 2]How about muscles? 3]If so how much money can a person if they figure to do such a thing?

Answer
Hi erick
 Bones are continually being broken down and regenerated but muscle cells do not undergo cell division. When muscle tissue is lost it is lost for good. I cannot put a price on the regeneration of muscle tissue but it would be a medical breakthrough
