The world's first human trial of a drug that can regenerate teeth will begin in a few months, less than a year on from news of its success in animals. This paves the way for the medicine to be commercially available as early as 2030.

      Well now you can pull one out whenever it starts getting yellow and regrow it. It won’t take many for him to start brushing.

          At least 9 months. Trying to speed this up might make it slower, but it won’t make it happen any quicker.

            Is that what happened to Musk, Trump, Putin, etc.? They got decanted from the tubes too soon? I mean, that makes sense, but why not just let it wither on the vine at that point? Shareholder pressure? Curious.

              Well, I was quoting RFC 1925, the twelve networking truths…

              (2) No matter how hard you push and no matter what the priority, you can’t increase the speed of light.

              • (2a) (corollary). No matter how hard you try, you can’t make a baby in much less than 9 months. Trying to speed this up might make it slower, but it won’t make it happen any quicker.
