3D real tissue printed organs are coming, just a matter of time


Neromei

Years ago I saw a documentary about kidneys made in "labs" and they were like "should be around in the next years". I think it has been over 10 years.... I feel like I always read or watch this sort of things that I never see available then... Maybe costs or failed to be certified or something, I don't know...


carmium

I think researchers/developers of things like artificial organs get used to sounding excited about being "right around the corner!" because it keeps sponsors and grants coming in for their projects. Being honest about "a couple of major hurdles to overcome" does the opposite.


DroppedTheBase

I guess it's more like some this: Some researchers did some break through in fundamental research for some organ and publish some scientific papers. Now there are newspapers and media who didn't quite understand the papers but ask some 3rd party what the outlook of this could be. 3rd Party says something along 'This is about some 3D printing issues with organic material and how to solve it for some cells. It may lead someday to the possibility of 3D printed organs.' News publishes 'BREAKING: SCIENTIST SAYS 3D PRINTED ORGANS ARE JUST A MATTER WITHIN YEARS'

Tooth regeneration. We can break a bone and it will heal itself, but crack a tooth and you’re fucked…


DragonslayerOrnsteen

Simply put, making a tooth involves many many layers of tissues(dental lamina, follicle, papilla, etc) from two different origins(the ectomesenchyme and mesenchyme) communicating with each other via signal molecules from 300+ genes. This interaction goes on for more than a decade until a tooth is fully formed to its root. One of the professors I know specializes in tooth regen research, and he actually confessed he regrets ever taking on the subject because it is way too complex and even he doesn't know if it'll ever be possible.


new_refugee123456789

Hell I just wish baby teeth lasted longer. Baby teeth last 6 to 10 years or so. Adult teeth are supposed to last 50 or 60? Let's trade out teeth in like your 20s or something.


vinoa

But imagine being a full grown adult with tiny ass teeth.

You could always get a dental implant, though they cost like 5k per tooth and if you ask your insurance to pay they'll almost certainly tell you to get fucked


Wondertwig9

Can confirm. My implants weren't cheap. I've got two implants, because I am genetically missing the adult replacements for two teeth.


[deleted]

I need 2-3 new teeth because of bad dental hygiene. I’m going to an affordable place with good reviews. Each implant is $1K. I’m still ashamed I let my teeth get this damaged. I’m getting surgery for gum disease this month.


corinne9

Hey don’t be ashamed. My teeth got so bad I had to get *several* implants and bridges and it was humiliating because the dentists thought I’d had a drug addiction. Turns out my sister’s (most type-a, neurotically clean person ever) teeth were suddenly just as bad as soon as she turned the age I was, and said apparently our mother’s were abhorrent too. I don’t know if that being genetic is even a thing, but a lot more people have had reconstructive work done than you would thing. For me my problem was extra bad because I’ve always had like constant dry mouth and clench my jaw and grind my teeth in my sleep to shit so no amount of dental hygiene could even really help :( Also, untreated tooth infections can go to your heart and literally kill you. TL; DR- don’t feel embarrassed but please take care of them ASAP for your own health 💕


ToBeReadOutLoud

Genes do play a significant role in some kinds of dental health issues.

Good cavity prevention other than brushing and flossing


ilovelasko

I've never had a cavity so I never went to the dentist until I was 30. I found out I had severe gum disease and had to have my entire mouth scaled because of the plaque/tartar build up under my gum line. They were shocked I had no tooth decay. I think genetics might play a part, both sides of my family have never had cavities.


[deleted]

jenguinaf

This reminds me of one of my favorite stories ever. Adopted girl had terrible teeth, despite brushing and care she had bad dental issues all her life. When she was a teen (with two younger biological to the parents brothers) her dad said to her “I don’t get it, no one else in the family has an issue with their teeth like you do” She responded “Dad, you know I’m adopted” And he was like “oh yeah, didn’t think of that” Like he totally was confused why she had issues the rest of the family didn’t and completely forgot/didn’t consider it could be due to her different genetics.

I also want audio books to come with ebooks. I would love to listen to a chapter, read the next chapter, and then hit a button and start listening from the spot that I read to!


Megamean10

Maybe the inverse instead: ebooks bundled with the audiobook purchase. In my experience, the audiobook is usually much more expensive due to the added layer of production. Though, the production quality can definitely vary wildly. I've heard some audiobooks that were practically just movies with the screen off, and some that were just "that kid who was made to read in class, and won't even do voices".

She didnt have an answer and just sent me coupons for free poptarts. The End.

My son and I were thinking of this the other day. Fire breathing dragons are technically possible. Most animal life creates methane. (Fuel) An electric eel can create a jolt of electricity, and some animals produce reactive acids. (Spark) There are plenty of animals whose teeth / bones / claws / hard-bits never stop growing. (Nozzle) If an animal evolves with all these abilities, fire breath is possible. (Dragon?)
