Hmm
I've been thinking
Claire and Adam can both regenerate
They can both use their blood to regenerate others
now since Claire and Adam can regenerate, that must mean their blood cells can also regenerate
since the blood cells can regenerate the blood cells cannot disintegrate/die
now that the blood cells are in Nathan and Bennet and they both have regenerated, therefore Nathan and Bennet should now have regenerative powers like Claire and Adam

What do you all think?

I also had that thought, if the cells cannot die, then they should regenerate themselves in the host's body (curious that the White Blood Cells do not attack their host's blood or other tissues), if thats the case then the host themselves, shouldn't they be in a sense, immortal? Or at least have partial regenerative powers?

Aha, either intentional.
Orr they mucked up.
Big time.

Wrong. All our cells in our body are replaced once a week or something by new cells (I may be wrong here, but the idea applies) as if the cells lasted their entire life, the cells would be subject to mutations due to things like radiation and toxins - even with regeneration - meaning the cells would deteriorate.

No, what they have is that when their cells regenerate they come back perfectly and much faster than normal and not aged and deteriorated.

The thing that causes the regeneration is a part of the mind, as with all the abilities (it's been stated somewhere). Without that part of the mind, the blood transfusion is simply a one off fix.

I wonder, if HRG's mind is wiped by the Haitian, could they possibly restore it with Claire's or Adam's blood? We've seen Adam telling Peter that he can heal the mind, so perhaps... if anyone's mind wiped, the blood can be used to restore memory...

Very Possible



Well does claire's body cells even die off? If those cells are controlled by the the donor's mind, then Bennet wouldnt have regenerated as they are not Bennet's cells, and claire thinks he died

I seriously doubt the blood can regen itself. The brain controls the power, not the blood. So the blood would be normal other than its healing properties, though they may regen for about a week

And, it isn't in that way that they get instructible and don't get harmed, they just regenerate fast.
Dieing cells were regenerated quickly. But that doesn't mean they didn't die in first place.

I mean, Claire cut his toe of and it grows back. But she could cut it of. If you say, the regeneration works like cells didn't die, it would be in that way they couldn't get harmed and Claire wouldn't be able to cut her toe of.

I don't know if I express it right what I mean. (I can't concentrate now, my birds drives me crazy ^^)
Is it clear what I mean?

Claires (and Adams) Cells die in my mind like all the others. They only get replaced in a very much quicker way than the usual.

Nope, when Nathan punched the mirror his hand was bleeding, and then he warped it up.

Claire's and Adams blood cells get replaced just like yours and mine.

The only difference is that they get replaced with blood cells that have regenerative capabilities.

If they were to donate blood to us, we would probably be able to regenerate our cells until the blood that came from them died. Then our body would reproduce normal, non-healing blood to replace the blood from Claire/Adam.
