World-first tooth-regrowing drug will be given to humans in September
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Trials are set to include only adult males at first, then children at later rounds. That's not ideal.
I'm super pumped about the prospect of regrowing teeth though!
Often times people assigned female at birth are excluded from these kinds of medical trials because the female cycle can affect the measurements so much, which can distort the outcome. Still sucks but there's at least medical dispensation to discriminate.
Source: I was excluded from some paid medical test on some grounds and I had a conversation about reasons for exclusions with the people that were rejecting my application :-)
Yep, and then doctors and researchers go all surprised Pikachu face when it turns out that eg. some pain medication doesn't work as well on women, but naturally this conclusion is only arrived at after decades of insisting that they should work and that you're just being an irrational hysterical feeeeemale if you say they don't

Stereotypes don’t appear out of thin air. They permeate the social consciousness through a large baseline of established presence; it’s just that they also end up getting widely misapplied well beyond the actual incidence of that trait.
Since stereotypes are supported from both ends - non-trivial levels of real-world presence and cultural transmission/penetration - it can only be combatted from both ends as well. Ergo, yes, men do need to stop using that stereotype as an excuse, but women must also need to stop committing it from their own end. It just won’t stop being used any other way, in the same way that a spade doesn’t stop being a spade just because you stop acknowledging it’s existence.
No.
Shh, don't say "no" to the Rational™ Men, they don't like it – because stereotypes don't appear out of thin air right?

Interesting how, instead of attacking the validity of the argument, you immediately turn around and attack the man.
Almost as if an Ad Hominem is the only possible tool you have left to wield; that you have no logical or rational or evidence-based arguments to make. Only emotions and impotent rage. Feelings before facts. How typical.
This is exactly why I didn't even bother; you're so Rational™ that you're just assuming I'm a woman because I'm mocking you. I knew it'd be pointless to try to actually talk to you and I'm under no compulsion to waste time arguing with neckbeards
you're just assuming I'm a woman because I'm mocking you.
Never said you were a woman. I made no such assumption.
Just said you had nothing to counter my argument with, so all you could possibly do was socially shame me into silence. Which is typical for those who have only facts-free ideology to work from.
arguing with neckbeards
And there is your assumption, clear and direct and unambiguous, in addition to being abusive language in an attempt to socially shame me into silence simply because you cannot deal with the subject under contention and feel the need to attack me directly.
Last I heard about this drug, it was focused on people who were missing teeth from birth / due to congenital defects, may work still but not yet applicable to regrowing teeth unfortunately.
