Urine Stem Cells Used To Grow Teeth In Cell Regeneration Study

Peck Smiles just came across some pretty interesting information regarding new stem cell research that suggests that human urine can be used to generate new teeth. We know some of you just said “What?!”, however researchers have found that using urine for tooth generation can help form many other useful regenerative cells. 

Chinese researchers describe how stem cells derived from urine could be used to generate solid organs and tissues, including teeth. Their study is published this week in the open-access journal Cell Regeneration. The researchers hope the technique might one day help provide new, tailor-made teeth for dental patients.
