This is the headline of the month, possibly the year: "Doctors Grow Pig Teeth
in Rat Intestines." Do we even need to read the story to understand it? It's
like a freaking _haiku_ of near-singularity, future-shocky wonderment!
U.S. doctors said on Thursday they have managed to grow living pig teeth in
rats, a feat of biotechnology that experts said could spark a dental
revolution.
Researchers at Boston's Forsyth Institute said their successful experiment
suggests the existence of dental stem cells, which could one day allow a
person to replace a lost tooth with an identical one grown from his or her
own cells.
"The ability to identify, isolate and propagate dental stem cells to use in
biological replacement tooth therapy has the potential to revolutionize
dentistry," said Dominick DePaola, president and CEO of the institute that
focuses on oral and facial science.
