New Teeth Grown From Urine - Study by datChelseaBoy: 5:04pm On Jul 30, 2013
Scientists have grown rudimentary teeth out of the most unlikely of sources, human urine. The results, published in Cell Regeneration Journal, showed that urine could be used as a source of stem cells that in turn could be grown into tiny tooth-like structures. The team from China hopes the technique could be developed into a way of replacing lost teeth. Other stem cell researchers caution that that goal faces many challenges. Teams of researchers around the world are looking for ways of growing new teeth to replace those lost with age and poor dental hygiene.

Stem cells - the master cells which can grow into any type of tissue - are a popular area of research. The group at the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health
used urine as the starting point. Cells which are normally passed from the body, such as those from
the lining of the body's waterworks, are harvested in the laboratory. These collected cells are then coaxed into becoming stem cells. A mix of these cells and other material from a mouse was implanted into the animals. The researchers said that after three weeks the bundle of cells started to resemble a tooth: "The tooth-like structure contained dental pulp, dentin, enamel space and enamel organ." However, the "teeth" were not as hard as natural teeth.
This piece of research is not immediately going to lead to new options for the dentist, but the researchers say it could lead to further studies towards "the final dream of total regeneration of human teeth for clinical therapy".

Wondering how they arrived at URINE as a possible source of stem cell material for TEETH of all things!

Food for thought....

For now. That is how nobody wanted made in Japan now their Honda cars are hot cake. We should start somewhere instead of looting our treasury dry, taking our parties to where serious people have made presentable and fake pastors predicting only dooming for our beloved country , the only good they see is their new fleets of jets.

You fail to see the bigger picture...what of people who lose teeth to disease and accidents? what hope for them?

This is the aim of research like these...
