This is the first result with “growing new teeth”

We’re not there yet, but it doesn’t seem too far off. Definitely not scifi to say this will be possible within our lifetimes.

Cool. Growing new teeth in a lab for later installation(?) is probably something were close to, but I’m not so sure about the drug for starting tooth growth in living humans. It’s one thing to activate stem cells, and another to integrate that growth in tissue not designed for new growth. The clinical mishaps are going to be equal parts hilarious and terrifying.
I do wonder how easily it’s going to be to integrate new growth in general though. Like, how much the body will automatically link things together. We might get limb and organ regrowth around the same time.

Deadpool cosplay will be on a whole other level.

War reenactments and swordfighting will be even cooler I bet. Incredibly traumatizing by our standards and even more likely to trigger PTSD, but imagine the strategy around actual limb damage and pain in fencing!
