This could be big!
It's good to know that while we degenerates run a mostly pointless life gambling shitcoins and shitposting or whatever hoping for an early retirement there are actually a handful of people doing great things out there...Things for the actual progress of society. 😂
Like this thing I stumbled upon today.
Something that may improve the life of millions if not billions of people out there. And give the middle finger to all dentists as well. Fucking dentists. I hate those fucking dickheads.
The world’s 1st drug to regrow teeth is about to enter HUMAN fucking clinical trials!
Now, as someone who has undergone a handful of root canals, I know that in a couple decades my teeth outlook isn't gonna the best so this is something I really can't wait to see!
If this shit actually passes the human trial stage it's gonna be simply revolutionary, considering how the dental field has been relatively stagnant.. with maybe the exception of dental implants. Fillings, implants, root canals, everything a thing of the past! Fuck that shit. Just regrow your teeth like new!
The tooth-regrowing drug works by inhibiting an antibody or some shit and has been in development since 2005. For now, we know it works on mice and ferrets:
In his research, which he’s been conducting at Kyoto University since 2005, Takahashi learned of a particular gene in mice that affects the growth of their teeth

The antibody for this gene, USAG-1, can help stimulate tooth growth if it is suppressed – and scientists have since worked to develop a “neutralizing antibody medicine” that is able to block USAG-1.
I actually remember reading numerous times about Takahashi's research in the past, but I never thought we would live to see this being actually tried on humans!
But the moment has finally come!
Now, testing will turn to healthy adult humans and, if all goes well, the team plans to hold a clinical trial for the drug from 2025 for children between two and six years old with anodontia – a rare genetic disorder that results in the absence of six or more baby and/or adult teeth.
Damn. The future is now! So fucking exciting. I won't be surprised if we see limb regeneration by the end of the decade...If we manage not to fuck everything up before that... 😅
Tic tac.

BEER.Science and technology will continue to amaze me. If this teeth regrowth thingy works, then it would be a hit especially if it is easily accessible. My cousin Lost the whole front teeth in an accident years ago and looks really weird. Such like him will benefit from such medical advancement
I heard they are in clinical trials in Japan, it's about damn time!
Yeah, now if we can get a pill that can actually grow my penis! That would be awesome!
Hell, that and while they're at it a male birth control pill!
I guess you can eat as much chocolate as you like now that the eternal life cure for teeth has been found.
Nah, I am good with choco. My teeth problems are mostly from physical trauma 😅
I see. Naughty boy, huh...
Dentistry has not had any major breakthrough yet, like the sleeping arm of medicine. This one would be a major one if it does work out eventually.
This is like a good experiment, so now I don't have to be worried about eating much sweet.
I still need to be careful hehe, in case it is something expensive
I think my ex had this done to grow teeth on her hooch xD

Wow
A lot of people will be so happy about this cure for teeth
They won't need to remove their teeth again
That’s really good news if the human clinicals go well. What a find

Very informative. I think its a big achievement that tooth can regrow. But they are original same like naturally grown teeth?
gumbjobs are the best though
let's say it works, but I wouldn't keep my hopes up teeth will grow where they're suppose to or something resembling straight, so I don't think it's the end of those torturers ... I mean dentists yet :)
