Researchers in Japan have already seen success with the new drug in tests on mice, ferrets and dogs.
Lost a tooth? No problem. In a few years, you might be able to use a medication that will grow it back.
A team of researchers and scientists in Japan are planning to start clinical trials for a new, first-of-its-kind drug that has successfully grown new teeth in animal tests. Toregem Biopharma, a pharmaceutical startup funded by Kyoto University, is expected to begin trials on humans around July of next year to confirm the drug’s safety. Their goal is to put it on the market by 2030.
According to The Japan Times, the injectable medication works by inhibiting the protein that suppresses the growth of teeth, therefore stimulating the growth on the “tooth buds” that people already have in their gums. Toregem Biopharma said it first hopes to treat patients with congenital tooth loss who can’t grow teeth due to genetic issues, and then hopes to address loss from cavities and other dental problems.

Researchers propose 3D printing of high-performance elastomers through vat photopolymerizationAcrylate-based ultraviolet (UV)-curable resins are currently used as raw materials to obtain desired performance by adjusting the types and ratios of oligomer and reactive monomers in the resin system. However, due to low degree of free-radical polymerization, the elastomers prepared by vat photopolymerization (VPP) technology show low strength, poor resilience, and unsatisfactory mechanical properties.

Researchers reveal different photocatalytic process of Cr(VI) on cellulose- and lignin-rich biocharAs much as 300 to 500 billion tons of biochar are reported to be in soil, sediment and aquatic habitats in China. The discovery of photocatalytic activity of biochar opens up a new frontier in understanding how this substance affects and regulates geochemical processes related to key environmental elements. However, the biomass sources and pyrolysis temperatures can significantly affect the biochar structure, leading to substantial variability.
