Toregem Biopharma is slated to begin clinical trials in July of next year after it succeeded growing new teeth in mice five years ago.

So…. Anybody else feel this is…..
I dunno… weird?
Nah, this is progress. Why wouldn't I want to be able to grow my teeth back?
I mean, yes. It's amazing.
Still weird. I guess I'm stuck on the whole... adults teething issues.
Eh, as long as you don't get all your teeth knocked out at once, or are old and completely toothless when you get treated, it shouldnt be much of a problem. But yeah, weird thought.
I’ve grown accustomed to liquified chicken gizzards
You do you
Only because it's paradigm shifting and worldview shattering.
"Only baby teeth grow back, and if you lose your adult teeth you're fucked, enjoy your dentures."
Don't worry though, you probably have a few decades to realign your worldview. 9/10 of clinical trials fail.
Yeah, I'd like to know if they can stop the treatment again. Wouldn't want to have teeth everywhere.
So, it sounds like the drug basically prevents certain things that normally halt tooth growth- which would be problematic as we're not constantly loosing teeth.
I will become a shark and you cannot stop me
Honestly, I'm not sure I want to. can I join you instead?
