The tooth regrowth medicine deactivates a protein called USAG-1, which inhibits the growth of teeth. The team believes that in the future it may be possible to grow teeth not only in people with congenital conditions, but also in those who have lost teeth due to cavities or injuries.
Kind of wild to think teeth would just grow from hitting a switch like this. It doesn’t sound like it’s very targeted/controllable though. I can’t tell if it’s injected at the site they want a tooth to grow or they just let the body decide.
This will be interesting.
If only they could figure out how to stop wisdom teeth from growing, too.
A total waste of calcium.
How long do you think it takes for a tooth to form? It has to be a lot of calcium, and it is so hard!
Hopefully the test go alright. I wouldnt want to be one of the first!
Just scratching my head—
What if the tooth remains growing and growing like forever?

It sounds like it has an element of danger.

Great. I always wanted to have teeth growing from random places on my body.
