A German who lost his jaw to mouth cancer got to eat his first solid food in a decade. German doctors used a mesh cage, a growth chemical derived from cow bones, and the patient’s own bone marrow, containing stem cells, to create a new jaw bone. The mesh cage was implanted in his back to grow there. Once the bone had developed, it was transplanted to his mouth.
So what did the guy eat after a decade of apple sauce and soup? A bratwurst.
