The world's first human trial of a drug that can regenerate teeth will begin in a few months, less than a year on from news of its success in animals. This paves the way for the medicine to be commercially available as early as 2030.

        That image makes my body scrunch up the same way those spider-tined head massage things do.

    Awesome. I always thought it was unfair that sharks get unlimited teeth while we are limited to two sets.

    Interesting that the treatment is intravenous. I would have thought it would need to be injected locally. I wonder how they ensure that teeth grow only where there are missing teeth, or control what type of tooth grows at a given position?
