If they can grow teeth is hair far behind?

[casperz]

A single gene appears to be in charge, preventing additional tooth formation in species destined for a limited set. When the scientists bred mice that lacked that gene, the rodents developed extra teeth next to their first molars — backups like sharks and other non-mammals grow, University of Rochester scientists reported Thursday.

My dentist told me almost 10 years ago that genetics would be the future in dental practice....

My understanding is that the stem cell research in HM and in dentistry are similar. If one is solved, the other one will be solved as well...

I AM NOT A SCIENTIST.
That said, I believe that hair follicles are much more complicated than teeth, and therefore harder to reproduce.
