Well, that’s not actually the first thing they’re testing:
Now, scientists will see just how similar, because humans will soon undergo a similar trial in September of this year. Lasting 11 months, this study will focus on 30 males between the ages of 30 and 64—each missing at least one tooth. The drug will be administered intravenously to prove its effectiveness and safety, and luckily, no side effects have been reported in previous animal studies.
I’m guessing the idea is to catch teeth that could have developed but never did (hey, I’m missing one that way). Otherwise I’m not sure how they’d control which type and how many show up.
Annoyingly there’s no English language link, so it’s hard to say. I’m not even clear on what they did with the ferrets.
Lots of hopium in the article. The base treatment seems to be for 2-7 years old missing teeths.
I mean you can’t just inject some stuff and have a random tooth grow out.
I’m 36, so you telling me theres a chance I won’t need dentures when I’m in my 70s?
I mean tbh modern dentures are dope if you can afford them
There’s a crazy lot of stuff that will happen in the upcoming decades. IMO.

Based on the studies I’ve seen, that’s exactly what the researchers are hoping for in the long run
Crazy if it works, but the whole biotech field is boiling right now so who knows?
