The world's first human trial of a drug that can regenerate teeth will begin in a few months, less than a year on from news of its success in animals. This paves the way for the medicine to be commercially available as early as 2030.
Often times people assigned female at birth are excluded from these kinds of medical trials because the female cycle can affect the measurements so much, which can distort the outcome. Still sucks but there’s at least medical dispensation to discriminate.

Yep, and then doctors and researchers go all surprised Pikachu face when it turns out that eg. some pain medication doesn’t work as well on women, but naturally this conclusion is only arrived at after decades of insisting that they should work and that you’re just being an irrational hysterical feeeeemale if you say they don’t
Last I heard about this drug, it was focused on people who were missing teeth from birth / due to congenital defects, may work still but not yet applicable to regrowing teeth unfortunately.
Trials are set to include only adult males at first, then children at later rounds. That’s not ideal.
I’m super pumped about the prospect of regrowing teeth though!

No.
Shh, don’t say “no” to the Rational™ Men, they don’t like it – because stereotypes don’t appear out of thin air right?
