Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Toregem's president Honoka Kiso wrote on the company's website she had lost teeth due to a bone disease when she was a teenager.

"I wanted to study the cause of my illness and how to regenerate lost teeth," she said.

That’s actually a lot more noble than I expected. They’re aiming to first help those who can’t grow teeth due to genetic before expanding out to people who just have missing teeth.

So once the protein is activated does it stop? Or like turn off once it reaches the correct size? Also how does it know which teeth to grow?
