YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TOOTH!
Human trials started September 2024.
If all goes well, they hope to bring the drug to market by 2030 and usher in a time when people with oral problems can finally smile again.
The only downside is that the tooth grows out of the end of your nose...
The side effects in some should be...interesting.
At 70?.................
Many years ago (1966) I saw a young man with teeth growing out of his ear.

I hate MSN. Here’s the original article if you had taken the time to find it.

Growing a Third Set of Teeth: How Japan’s Groundbreaking Drug Could Revolutionize Dentistry

“Their ground-breaking discovery is based on a particular mouse gene called USAG-1”
Gene therapy? NO WAY!
Let’s hope it cheaper than implants, although implants, while expensive, do work well.
USAG-1... Usagi. “Rabbit” in Japanese.
Interesting and at the same time kind of scary. I can imagine teeth growing where they are not supposed to grow, and as yet unknown side effects. Seems like all of the newer drugs have some nasty side effects.
Possible side effects include a third eye, fish gills, and if your mouth returns to a full set of teeth, a predilection to talk like Jimmy Carter.
most organic functions and growth are controlled or influenced by several genes, not just one all by itself.
for instance, information is required to stimulate growth and then again to halt the growth after it has reached the desired amount, degree.

I called the company in Japan and asked for myself. A guy came on in broken English and said “You grow teeth, look like Steve Buscemi!”
Hope for hockey players!

I saw an article on this a while back. This process will only work in certain conditions. It won’t just work on anyone. Age may of been a factor but I can’t remember what it was. I just know that it would not have worked on the majority of us.
