You can regrow a finger tip, including the nail. Very young children can regrow slightly more.

Not as yet.

Stem cell research, of various kinds, MIGHT, in the (very) distant future, be able to come up with techniques for regrowth of lost limbs/appendages.

Neither you or I will live long enough to experience it, though..
