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.

    The trial, which will take place at Kyoto University Hospital from September to August 2025, will treat 30 males aged 30-64 who are missing at least one molar.

    Is only testing on men still a thing in science? Since stuff can have different effects between genders, this could be bad for women.

      It’s not precluding a subsequent trial that includes women.

      Having said that, it is a little odd that it’s a men only trial.

        Yeah of course. But as you’re saying, it’s just a little odd. History shows that focusing on one gender does eventually have bad consequences for the other gender.
