News Desk: All the beauty of the face except the teeth should be ruined. Many people lose their teeth untimely due to various reasons.

Japanese researchers have solved that problem. They have discovered a new method.

Through which untimely fallen teeth will also grow in a new way - this is what the researchers said. A team of researchers from the Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan conducted research on the subject. Their research paper was recently published in a journal called ‘Science Advances’.

Researchers have succeeded in finding ways to grow new teeth by conducting research on mammals such as rats and badgers. Katsu Takhasai, head of the research team, said that this impossible task could only be achieved by inactivating the USAG-1 gene.

The researchers first looked at various chemicals in the body; He started working on the ones that are responsible for the growth of teeth.

The gene is directly related to the growth of teeth. If this gene is active, the growth of teeth is obstructed and if it is inactive, the growth of teeth starts. By inactivating the USAG-1 gene in mammals such as rats and badgers, researchers have seen new teeth grow.

They are also conducting research on dogs and pigs. The researchers hope that the huge cost of dental treatment will be greatly reduced. They said the study would be conducted on humans soon.
