The teeth on the shelf! Prosthesis may soon become a thing of the past. Already, a British scientist can grow germs animal teeth, which they hope will be transplanted into the jaw. Despite the fact that the work is at an early stage, experts believe that such technology is applied to a man may become available already in the next 10 years. This study is performed under the supervision of Professor Paul Sharpe (Paul Sharpe), to explore the development craniofacial region at King's College London. During the experiments, he got the germ of mouse tooth. The scientist is so confident in the success of future technology, which founded for its development and promotion company called «Odontis». According to Professor Sharpe, the implantation of the embryo in the animal's jaw, he will receive the necessary innervation and blood supply and is firmly entrenched in the gum. The ultimate goal of the project - an opportunity for people to go to the dentist, who take a sample of cells of the patient and grow a new tooth, rather than relying on artificial materials. Two years ago, scientists from the National Institutes of Health have shown that each tooth has stem cells that can give rise to odontoblasts - cells that synthesizes an essential component of any tooth - dentin. Employees Faculty of Dentistry, University of Texas found in the tooth source of cells capable of creating enamel. Professor Sharpe also uses stem cells, however, refuses to more information. He explained that due to a combination of special chemicals he was able to get these cells to transform into progenitor cells of the tooth, and then give rise to the dental rudiments. The scientist said he did not consider the creation of artificial teeth too hard. The announcement of this study, which may make it unnecessary dental prosthetics, was published in the journal «New Scientist». On materials of the American newspaper "Fortune" (2002) Heartburn and heart Many people believe that heartburn - is excessive thirst, when thirsty.
