LONDON: Scientists in Japan have managed to develop teeth from stem cells, a growth that might make dentures redundant.
The researchers, from the University of Tokyo, succeeded in rising a tooth ���germ���, a seed-like piece of tissue which incorporates the cells and directions essential to kind a tooth, which they then transplanted into the jawbones of a mice.

Hormones within the animal���s our bodies additionally reacted to the transplant and helped the teeth to develop.
���This research demonstrates a way that might result in the event of bioengineered organ replacements, doubtlessly offering a prelude to the power to develop new, absolutely practical bioengineered organs contained in the physique from stem cells or different germ cells,��� stated Takashi Tsuji, who led the research, reported within the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The method is also tailored to different organs, permitting hearts, lungs and kidneys to be grown contained in the physique to interchange components worn by age or broken by illness, the Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday.
