Anglo-French team of scientists first odontornithes have been created since the time of the dinosaurs, which opens up new prospects for the dentist and treatment for baldness. Embryos of chickens grown in the French laboratory managed to implant rudimentary growing teeth after scientists were able to awaken a gene that had been sleeping in birds for at least 70 million years.

The experiment gives grounds to assume that someday it will be possible to include similar human genes that control the growth of teeth and hair.

This technique can be used to grow new teeth and hair in people who lost them as a result of diseases or age-related changes. The significance of this experiment for people is a matter of the distant future, but understanding how teeth and hair are formed, and the mechanisms are very similar, can prove valuable.

If such signals can be caught, it will be possible to develop medications that order stem cells to form hair follicles, and make baldness reversible medicus. en.
