The drug is basically ready to use. Just going over safety checks and they hope to have it out by 2030. So unless you plan on dying within the next few years, high chances it's happening in your lifetime.

Which is good news for me, I lack 4 permanent teeth congenitally.

But I definitely know what you're talking about, having heard about it on/off for literally 20 years. I think this team/research started in 2005.

I'm still waiting on the 3d printed spare organs. Read about those in the early 00's as well. I think they've managed a rabbits heart already. A functional one.

they were able to print a rabbit-sized heart with a network of blood vessels that were capable of contracting like natural blood vessels. The printed heart had the correct anatomical structure and function compared to real hearts.

My dentist brought up what a bunch of bullshit that is at my last visit. He was saying that the drug causes teeth to regrow but we don't know the side affects, or what else it will make grow. He made a good point that there are other places on the body that are somewhat predisposed go grow teeth given mutation. He mentioned this is why we sometimes see people grow teeth in their genital area.

Anyways, I'll stick with bridges and whatnot personally.
