    Trials are set to include only adult males at first, then children at later rounds. That’s not ideal.

    I’m super pumped about the prospect of regrowing teeth though!

      Often times people assigned female at birth are excluded from these kinds of medical trials because the female cycle can affect the measurements so much, which can distort the outcome. Still sucks but there’s at least medical dispensation to discriminate.

      Source: I was excluded from some paid medical test on some grounds and I had a conversation about reasons for exclusions with the people that were rejecting my application :-)

      Last I heard about this drug, it was focused on people who were missing teeth from birth / due to congenital defects, may work still but not yet applicable to regrowing teeth unfortunately.
