Breakthrough in the lab

[mattheman]

Dr Kazuhisa Nakao said: 'Every bio- engineered tooth erupted through the gum and had every tooth component such as dentine, enamel, pulp, blood vessels, nerve fibres, crown and root.'

pulp, blood vessels, nerve fibres these were the problems, problem has been solved.

well the progress starts now really.

15 years is a long time, no? Why not sooner!

It'll be sooner 5 to 7 years.

It won't be used by British dentists. This would seriously hamper the amount of rip-off over paid work they get.

They have no option, otherwise they'll lose business.

 

[mattheman]

and you're basing this on what?

info from guys hospital.

 

[mattheman]

It's OK, he did some maths and worked it out.


Oh wait..

The maths on the other topic was correct, you just failed to see how the food industry work % out.
You fail too understand that 45 grams has 2 % fat you still think 1kilo has 2 % fat but using GDA this is nt true, because we are talking about human intake not the % of fat on the item, so there are 2 types of %.

Hopefully. It'll be awesome when we reach a day where any kind of injury can be sustained and still fixed. I guess the growing of replacement organs could remove the problems associated with donor organs and all that as well.

Still, I'm not sure they know how to reattach eyes yet let alone grow them so there will be other obstacles obviously.

Theres a lot of things in the pipeline, heart & lungs are already being grown.

I'd say that the biggest problem is getting the newly grown teeth to develop in the correct position. It's no good if they stick out every which way or are different sizes/lengths, making it impossible to chew.

Even if the tooth is smaller it still usable, and correct position isnt really that hard, the living function which is hardest and it seems they done it.

 

[mattheman]

Popper mastication motions require uniformly level teeth. I don't see getting them to grow properly interlocking, with the correct position of molars/incisors being a particularly easy task.

I can see them growing the teeth in a external environment then selecting the appropriate ones then implanting them.

there is always a way round that, crowns and the new fillings based on bio materials the ones that'll be out soon in fillings.

 

[mattheman]

yep i can see getting the right shape and definition taking a very very long time.

We can grow lots of tissues but growing them in anything like a usable shape is difficult

The qoute you have there is based on % of GDA of human intake, which is differs from the overall %. Seems to me you have no understand how the food industry calculate %. i'll make it simple for you, 1 slice is 100% 2 slices is 200%.

[mattheman]

Here is what you meant to say: Bread contains around 1.5% of your daily RDA for fat per slice, there are around 30 slices on a loaf. A 800g loaf contains 45% of your daily RDA.

However you got your numbers wrong, a loaf of Hovis white contains about 26% of your daily RDA based on 70g per day.

You notice the important part that you missed? You made it sound like the fat content of bread is 40%, which is isn't.

70g is 2 slices or there abouts, it depends on how its cut up.

 

[mattheman]

because this isn't natural it's a small culture and we don't completely understand the process of how tissues form organs.

if it was as simple as just getting the cells and they grew in the right shape we'd have grown hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys by now.

We understand it we just dont know how to do it well.
