    Awesome. I always thought it was unfair that sharks get unlimited teeth while we are limited to two sets.

    Interesting that the treatment is intravenous. I would have thought it would need to be injected locally. I wonder how they ensure that teeth grow only where there are missing teeth, or control what type of tooth grows at a given position?

    It’s won’t be approved by the FDA for 20 years and will cost $80,000 per tooth. They’ll drag out the process of getting a generic out so it’s affordable as long as possible, only for it to them still not be covered by medical insurance, and only 30% by dental if you’re lucky.

    By the time this is actually beneficial to the working class the human race will already be extinct. But at least the stock market will have done great up until the end there.
