...important as the substance he or she uses. "Any material is only as good as the person who's injecting it," says Brandt. "Collagen put in the wrong area could actually accentuate wrinkles." On the other hand, dermatologists point out, a skilled technician may be able to transform your face over a lunch break...
...hippie vibe the place radiates is a front. Looking past the shabby prefab trailers and scrubby farmland they skirt, you see that Murakami is as much a factory floor manager as an artist. Under his direction, computer researchers catalog recurring motifs for easy cut-and-paste reproduction, drafters transform sketches into outlines on canvas with robot-like precision, and technicians keep precisely documented recipes for the 70 to 800 colors used in each painting.

They do, however, grow more quickly than stem cells found in full-grown adults. It's too early to suggest that children should start banking their baby teeth--and Shi for now has all the teeth he needs. Still, the Tooth Fairy must be very proud...
