    Nope… I have been hearing about tooth regrowth every couple of years for perhaps my entire life, and it still has not at all happened.

        Sorry, how exactly does big pharma profit from dental fillings? Or do you imagine big dentist is bigger than big pharma?

    How’s it suppose to work?

    Side note: am I expected to read articles on lemmy?

      From the article:

      A protein called USAG-1, synthesized by the gene, was found to limit the growth of teeth. In other words, blocking the action of that protein could allow more teeth to grow.

      It would be a great community norm to encourage reading the article first, at least here on Beehaw <3

        On Reddit, my typical behavior would be to skim a few comments looking for quick explanation. If I was particularly interested, and no comment covered my questions, then I’d go to the article and fill in the relevant info into the discussion.

        But it takes a decent number of decently active users to sustain such a model without reading lots of articles every day.
