That’s very good news, but we’ll have to wait a little bit:
>>> “keratin-based enamel regeneration could be made available to the public within the next two to three years.”
- HPsquared 1y agoThat's pretty unbelievably fast, actually.
- Y_Y 1y agoYou can just put hair in your blender today.
- ffsm8 1y agoI don't think you can blend hair into a paste you can then spread over your teeth. This is about tooth paste, not a supplement
- brnaftr361 1y agoToothpaste is not a complicated compound to make. The question is one of optimization. What size (mechanical) or what type of keratin is most suitable, or do we depolymerize (chemical) it first or let oral enzymes do it..? Is brushing as-is sufficient or do we need a longer dwell time..?
- andrewflnr 1y agoThe article mentioned "extracting keratin". It might be more a chemical than a mechanical process.
- Y_Y 1y agoYou are quite right, seems like there are unbreakable matrices that require chemical action: https://www.jsr.org/hs/index.php/path/article/download/4787/2180/36260 https://www.jsr.org/hs/index.php/path/article/download/4787/...

- imoverclocked 1y agoYou have clearly not dealt with hair and mechanical devices. https://xkcd.com/1349/ https://xkcd.com/1349/
- doubled112 1y agoI'm forever unwrapping the beater bar and replacing belts in my vacuums. I don't want to do it in my blender too.
