A drug that regrows teeth could be on the market by 2030, if all goes well in an upcoming clinical trial. Beginning in September of this year, 30 adult males will be intravenously administered the medicine as part of a Phase I study into its safety and efficacy, marking the first time that a drug of this sort has been tested on humans.During previous rounds of testing on animals, the formula showed enormous potential to trigger the re-emergence of lost dentition, with a single dose being sufficient to regrow a tooth in ferrets. According to the researchers leading the trial, the current version of the drug was also well-tolerated by the rodents, with no adverse effects reported, indicating that it can now be given to people for further study.The medication contains an antibody for a gene called USAG-1, which inhibits the growth of teeth by binding to a growth factor called BMP. The first phase of the trial will be held at Kyoto Hospital in Japan over a period of 11 months, involving healthy individuals who all have at least one tooth missing.If the trial is a success, researchers plan to start administering the drug to children suffering from congenital tooth deficiency, beginning with patients between the ages of two and seven who have at least four teeth missing since birth."We want to do something to help those who are suffering from tooth loss or absence,” lead researcher Katsu Takahashi told The Mainichi. “While there has been no treatment to date providing a permanent cure, we feel that people's expectations for tooth growth are high."If these upcoming trials prove successful, the researchers say the drug could be widely available within six years and could be used to regrow teeth in patients with congenital deficiencies as well as those who have lost teeth due to injuries or decay.

A student in Turkey is facing jail time after using a homebrew AI device to cheat on a test. The student was caught using the device at a school in the southwestern province of Isparta while taking the country’s basic aptitude test, according to Reuters. This isn’t the first time that AI has been used to cheat on schoolwork, of course. We’ve seen a lot of concerns over the use of AI, including the very popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, to cheat on homework, tests, and other work in the past couple of years. However, this time is notable because the person using the homebrew AI device was actually arrested. That makes it one of the first times that we’ve seen the user receive some kind of judicial punishment for their actions. https://x.com/arirangtvnews/status/1800782221806313835 According to the Turkish police involved with the arrest, the homebrew device is actually somewhat complex. It involves a button camera, which the AI system can use to look at the questions that are on the test. This is then passed through to the voice agent on the user’s phone, where it is transmitted to an earpiece that the student was wearing. According to the reports, the homebrew AI device was powered by a small modem or router situated in the student’s shoe. Another student was also arrested in relation to the cheating, though it hasn’t been shared publicly exactly how involved that student was or what kind of punishment they’ll receive. The police say that the student was only caught because they appeared to be acting suspiciously. Because of this, the student was detained and searched, revealing the homebrew device and its various components. Considering ChatGPT can pass exams from law and business school, it isn’t exactly all that surprisingly to see someone using it to try to get ahead on their aptitude tests.
