That must have been one heck of a toothy smile—imagine regular pig teeth growing next to bioengineered human-ish ones. After ...

Researchers say they are one step closer to tooth regeneration in humans thanks to new developments in growing bioengineered ...

In the Tufts study, the bioengineered teeth developed these ligament-like connections, a promising sign that they could one ...

Dentists could one day regrow human teeth instead of replacing them with false implants, according to scientists who have ...

In a paper published in late December, a team at Tufts University reported having successfully grown human-like teeth in pigs. Pamela Yelick, a professor at the Tufts School of Dental Medicine and ...

Researchers have grown human teeth in the jaws of pigs in an attempt to eventually offer a viable method of tooth replacement ...

Tooth cells are cultured in the lab to create bioengineered teeth. For her research, Yelick uses cells from pig jaws, which she obtains from slaughterhouses. Pigs grow multiple sets of teeth ...

Human-like teeth grown in four months in study combining cells from pigs and humans to make replacement for implants ...

In order to get closer to a potential solution, the researchers behind the study turned to pigs, who can grow five or six sets of teeth compared to humans' two sets. The scientists combined human ...

Pamela Yelick and Weibo Zhang, researchers at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, have successfully created humanlike, bioengineered replacement teeth that were then implanted into ...

They hope their findings could... Scientists grew human-like teeth in pigs. Could it lead to living tooth replacements? Losing a tooth is tough. If we lose the small living structures that help us ...
