Google? If you follow the link at the bottom of the article will lead you to the PNAS paper. You'll learn that the mice strain is called MRL[1].
It can regenerate its ears, cartillage[2], cardiac muscle after cold-induced lesions[3] but sadly not after infarction/reperfusion[4] and digits (to some extent, in neonate mice)[5]. There may be more.
I expect the full effects are not very dramatic, else it would have been noticed earlier, since MRL are commonly used in experiments.
I find it reassuring that this unknown thing was right on our doorstep, and it makes me wonder what other amazing discoveries are just out of reach (or even within reach...) The world is more complex than we see; all we need do is look (a lot...)

From the article, it seem to not be so much that it enables healing, but that it enables healing without scars. I expect this is crucial in some situations, but it's not clear that it can heal what wouldn't otherwise heal. Certainly, there are cosmetic applications.
