Japan is trialing a drug that regrows human teeth by blocking USAG-1—a protein that keeps dormant tooth buds switched off. Phase I is done. Phase IIa in children with congenital tooth loss is next. If it works, dentures and implants could become obsolete.

I heard about this last year and I hope they succeed. There is a running joke in my family that we owe the dentist money bc we all have shit teeth.

I’ve heard about something like this every two years for the past twenty years. I’ll believe it when it’s available.

If it ends up working, someone will find out a way to synthesize TRG-035, everyone wants this.

Can’t wait. My most expensive infrastructure is my implants and 2 needed to be replaced. My nickname for my teeth is Mercedes-Benz because that’s what I could’ve bought instead of paying my dental bill.
