Researchers 'grow' teeth in mice
WASHINGTON: Japanese researchers have successfully implanted bioengineered seed-like tissue into the jaws of mice, growing new teeth for the rodents, according to a study published yesterday.
The study, presented in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, demonstrates a technique that could be used to replace other organs.
Biologists have previously cultivated limited tissue in a laboratory and successfully transplanted it into animals.
