Scientists have taught cell to communicate with each other, allowing them to leave instruction to become a tooth cell. This is seen as a major step in the effort to regrow teeth.

    Forget sharks with lasers, I want a narwhal tusk on my head!

      It would be pointing out of your upper lip, though…it needs some kind of root to hold it in place. Better of with some horns, like an ibex or spring buck. Imo.

        I just assumed it would be like the Spore creature creator where you can kind of just drag it around until it’s in the spot you want (forehead).

        Gotta keep it center though, if you drag it to either side it becomes two horns and that means you’re the devil.

        Do not question my logic.

        It’s all good, as long as it points forward, and not up, or down…I’d hate to be tripping over it - but it would be so worth it to go around smacking fish for no good reason 😂

        I hadn’t thought about which direction it’d be pointed, I guess I assumed it would be pointed forwards…as a warning to all of my enemies - especially if they include Artic Char, those guys need to lighten up and let me smack them with my sweet long tooth
