Like something out of "Little Shop of Horrors," scientists have managed to grow human-like teeth in a lab — and implant them inside a miniature pig's mouth. As the MIT Technology Review explains, researchers at Tufts bioengineered this fascinating monstrosity using a mix of bovine and human tooth cells that were grown inside bits of pig teeth. The idea behind this terrifying lab-made concoction is, to be fair, pretty solid. Lead investigator Pamela Yelick, a who runs an eponymous tissue bioengineering lab at Tufts, and her postdoctoral fellow Weibo Zhang, were essentially looking for ways to create dental implants that fit […]
