Human-like teeth successfully grown in a pig’s mouth

Researchers believe lab-grown teeth could one day serve as an alternative to synthetic dental implants.

For the past two decades, scientists have been manipulating genes to grow human cells where you wouldn’t quite expect them. Human ears and skin have famously been grown on mice. More recently, early-stage human kidneys have even been grown in pig bellies. The world of bioengineering isn’t for the faint of heart.  Much of this tinkering is done in the service of one day using genetically modified animals to create spare organs and tissue for human patients lacking access to donors. Now, according to a study published in the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine, researchers have shown it’s possible to cultivate lab-grown human teeth cells inside of a pig’s mouth. The researchers believe these findings could one day lead to the development of biological tooth substitutes that could be used in place of imperfect synthetic dental implants currently used. The paper’s findings were first spotted by MIT Technology Review.

A new type of experimental "farm" has been launched in the Netherlands — it does not contain animals. Instead, meat from cow cells is grown in bioreactors.

According to the developers, the finished product is practically the same in taste and texture as regular meat. At the same time, manufacturers have the opportunity to regulate the balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. This method does not involve slaughtering animals, and it also reduces production costs.

So far, the project is at the testing stage, and it is planned to reach full-fledged operation by 2028.

Symbiosis (on Itch.io here) is about a mad scientist who lives in isolation with a precocious young boy who may or may not be a biological abomination. According to local rumors, Magnolia is a witch, and your job is to ensure the veracity of these rumors by disposing of anyone who attempts to investigate your house.

If you're such an amazing bioengeneer, why haven't you tested your skills by making a real life pokemon?

C'mon, you can make an oddish if you really need to start small. We both know you're too much of a weeb to say no.

I'll have you know I am a AMAZING-- No,, BRILLIANT bioengineer, first off!! 9-10 year's of practice and effort DOES pay off! ‚:[

Second,, now that you mention it..

I could actually legitimately do that!

If I put in the effort,, of course!

.

.

.

But my ass would instantly get fired if I go off task.

I could work on it back at my apartment,, though!

Would be a bit cramped..

I think. . . If anything, I probably have some old scrapped files lying around somewhere about creating supposedly 'non-living' creatures into making them.. Well, live!

AND A POKEMON IS AN AMAZING IDEA!!

\\OOC holy nerd moment..

Simple, sweet and small! It could be a rather easy task.. If I have possible free time,, I might try looking through some scrapped files--.. They're scrapped for a reason,, but since you're so sure of yourself.. Jævla jævla. . .

A-and--

AND I'M NOT A WEEB?!

I'M ONLY DOING THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT COULD WORK OUT!! N-NOT BECAUSE I'M TOO MUCH OF A 'WEEB' TO NOT DO IT?!

If you're going to be so STUCK UP about it then I might as well not even bother in doing it at all! ((//OOC he'll still 100% do it.. What a nerdy douche.. Grr. . .))

**grumble. . . grumble.. huff.. grumble. . .**

Dum anonym. . . Dumme spørsmål. . . for pokker, jeg burde bare begynne å dra hjem allerede. . . Vakten min ser ut til å være over.. -

“So why do you want to go into bioengineering?”

What I say: I’ve always wanted to be an engineer, but if I become a mechanical, aerospace, etc engineer what I make will inevitably be used to hurt people, but bioengineering has a larger chance of helping people.

What I want to say: The moment I understood the weakness of my flesh…

I FUCKING PASSED THIS SEMESTER WITHOUT HAVING TO RETAKE ANY SUBJECT THE NEXT YEAR OMG LETS GO

that doesnt end my bioengineering grind, gonna make cute notes of my lecturers' pdfs that I didn't have time to make during the semester 🤞

[celebratestuff]

Today we celebrate… bioengineering!

🎉🥳 Hooray for bioengineering! 🥳🎉
