To clarify, the material is engineered at Rice University, it's not made from grain.

Okay, well that's just wat less interesting. It'll be great if this helps people walk again. But I also wanted to read about the regenerative properties of rice.

It would give a whole new depth to "put it in some rice".

Broke your foot? Put it in some rice. Losing your hair? Dunk your head in some rice 10 minutes a day.

I dont even want to read the article now. You just ruined science for me!

So, putting my neurons in rice won't fix them?
