Forty years after the first effort to extract mummy DNA, researchers have finally generated a full genome sequence from an ...

Researchers say they are one step closer to tooth regeneration in humans thanks to new developments in growing bioengineered teeth in pigs.

“This shows us that ‘teeth’ can also be sensory even when they’re not in the mouth,” said study co-author Yara Haridy, a paleontologist at the University of Chicago.

With nearly 700 species of bacteria inhabiting the human mouth, experts say maintaining good oral hygiene could benefit both heart and brain health.
