Japanese scientists have started testing a new drug in humans that could regrow real teeth — offering a natural alternative to implants and dentures. The drug, called TRG-035, blocks a protein known as USAG-1, which normally stops teeth from developing.

In animal tests, the drug activated dormant tooth buds and led to new tooth growth in mice and ferrets. Now, the first human trial at Kyoto University Hospital is underway with 30 adults aged 30 to 64 who are missing at least one tooth. This phase is focused on making sure the drug is safe.

If it passes safety tests, the next step will be trials in children who were born without permanent teeth. Scientists hope to make this treatment available to the public by 2030 — a major breakthrough in dental care that could replace artificial implants with real tooth regrowth.

A study published in the BMC Journal has revealed that watching short videos or reels before bedtime may increase the risk of hypertension in young and middle-aged adults.

Researchers from Hebei Medical University analyzed data from 4,318 participants in 2023, uncovering a strong link between nighttime screen time and essential hypertension.

This is attributed to the sedentary nature of this habit and its potential to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, which can interfere with the body’s ability to relax.

The study emphasizes the importance of limiting screen time at night, along with managing body weight, controlling blood lipids, glucose levels, and sodium intake, as effective ways to reduce the risk of hypertension and promote better heart health.
