Scientists advance lab-grown teeth for human regeneration

Scientists have made progress in growing teeth in a lab, potentially leading to human dental regeneration and replacing current methods like dentures. Researchers developed a biomaterial that mimics natural tooth development by slowly releasing signals to guide cell differentiation, improving the environment for lab-grown teeth. This advancement brings scientists closer to replicating the process outside the body. The long-term goal is to create teeth that integrate seamlessly, regenerate, and are stronger than current dental solutions, though clinical trials and regulatory approval remain significant hurdles.
