🦷 A drug that helps humans regrow lost teeth could be here by 2030! Scientists in Japan have developed a groundbreaking medication that allows natural tooth regeneration—something long thought impossible for humans. Led by Dr. Katsu Takahashi at the Medical Research Institute Kitano Hospital, the team designed a drug that blocks a protein called USAG-1, which normally prevents new tooth growth. In animal trials, this inhibition successfully triggered the development of completely new teeth. The researchers are now preparing for human clinical trials, aiming to make the treatment widely available by the end of this decade. If successful, this could revolutionize dentistry by offering patients a natural alternative to dentures, implants, or prosthetics. The science builds on decades of regenerative medicine research and the discovery that humans may have dormant “third set” tooth buds, much like sharks and elephants that can grow multiple sets throughout their lives. Combined with ongoing progress in bone and dental pulp regeneration, this therapy could one day restore teeth lost due to injury, genetics, or aging. What once sounded like science fiction—regrowing your own teeth—is now on the horizon of becoming everyday reality. 📖 Source: Ravi, V., Murashima-Suginami, A., Kiso, H., Tokita, Y., Huang, C.L., Bessho, K., Takagi, J., Sugai, M., Tabata, Y., Takahashi, K.

I was reminded of something recently. People often admire the shine. The stage presence. The highlight reel. The polished version of success. What they don’t see? The worn-out soles. The long walks no one clapped for. The blisters, the setbacks, the moments you almost stopped moving forward. But that’s where the real work lives... beneath the surface. Because polish may impress for a moment... But it’s the miles that build the story. - Resilience keeps you walking. - Consistency wears in the path. - Progress takes you further than you thought possible. So even if nobody notices the grind right now, trust this: Even if no one’s cheering today, your persistence is already proof you’re further than you think. 👏
