The articles self summary pretty much covers the content:
A study out of Japan showed how targeting genes can regrow teeth in animals. Now, the team has turned to a human clinical trial. By targeting the USAG-1 gene, researchers believe that they can help people without a full set of teeth regrow teeth. The team says that humans have a third set of teeth available as buds, ready to grow as needed.
Sounds cool!
That's horrible.
Also, why would anyone visit the US at this point?
Tried to make filler from sawdust + glue but it's very dark, what went wrong?
I've heard people say you can mix sawdust from your workpiece with wood glue to make an invisible patch, but I've tried it twice (once in oak, once as pictured on ash) and both times it came out significantly darker and the surrounding wood. The glue is Tite Bond 3.
Does a different glue work better? How wet should the sawdust paste be? This is on the back so it doesn't matter a lot, but I'd like to have a good process for filling little mistakes.
In the 12–0 vote, the committee of advisors selected by anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. adopted a recommendation for adults 65 and older and people aged 6 months to 64 years to get a COVID-19 vaccine based on shared clinical decision-making. After this story was published, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adopted the recommendation, which will broadly maintain requirements that federal and private health insurance plans cover COVID-19 vaccines at no cost.
But the panel today also heard from outside sources who presented unvetted evidence and associations, suggesting COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer and nefariously linger in the body. The members themselves brought their own conspiracy theories and bunkum to the table.

Court documents show Ruth was previously charged with stalking, trespassing, and prowling at night, but had no felony convictions.
www.usatoday.com Gunman who ambushed police in Pennsylvania identified: What we know
Authorities say 24-year-old Matthew Ruth fatally shot three Pennsylvania police officers and wounded two others on Sept. 17.
The shooter was stationed inside the house and immediately began firing with an AR-15-style rifle, Barker said.
Investigators also discovered a black lab shot dead in the basement of the house that belonged to the ex-girlfriend of the shooter.
[The ex girlfriend] also told investigators that she believed Ruth had set her pick-up truck on fire while it was sitting in the home's driveway in August, according to an affidavit.
Thanks. Sounds to me like a person who reasonable gun control laws would have prevented from gun ownership.

At least it enhances every day value for the customer!
Ugh.
Aljazeera has a scant few additional details:
Police said the officers were there to serve a warrant. At a news conference, Christopher Paris, the state police commissioner, explained that they were following up on an investigation that began the day before, but he shared few other details. “The general heading of that investigation, I would say,
From the original article:
“This kind of violence is not OK. We need to do better as a society,” Shapiro said.
Seems like quite a juxtaposition there. I wonder what the "disturbance" was, and what de-escalation approaches were attempted.
Bummer, I had a pretty high opinion of RPI up until now. I would say 'wait and see what results get published,' but we saw how that worked out with the elections, and I can't imagine anyone would take that money without knowing the result they're expected to deliver.
Hah. It's I am not a lawyer.
If all the employees/execs agree, could they quit en masse and form a new company? I guess they'd need to build new factories. And maybe run afoul of non competes.
But yeah, seems like selling your soul and then asking the public to ransom it for you is irresponsible.
100 coins in the clock was probably my toughest of the 120 stars.
Should've done that. Their password reset link did not work, had to sign in and find the password change settings myself. And now they require special character / caps / etc.
Better South Korea than a concentration camp, but all these headlines calling it "home" is misleading, their homes are presumably near their workplace.
Misleading title, "flown home" actually means taken "to South Korea on a chartered flight".
Use polars, or some framework that's been built with performance from the start?
I have optimized pandas notebooks before, but it seems a bit like a foundation of sand.
plus a GPU-powered drop-in accelerator, cudf.pandas, that delivers order-of-magnitude speedups with no code changes.
Don’t have a GPU on your machine? No problem—you can use cudf.pandas for free in Google Colab, where GPUs are available and the library comes pre-installed.
Ah, I see why NVIDIA is writing about it.
Ballotopedia is not so ad encrusted and has this breakdown:
Wu has said she would prioritize reducing dependence on cars. Wu has highlighted her record on public transportation, including working with the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority to eliminate slow zones, as well as increasing ridership with fare-free bus lines, installing speed humps, and using technology to reduce congestion.[9] Kraft has said he wouldn't prioritize reducing dependence on cars and instead would focus on fixing roads and sidewalks, as well as temporarily pause bike lane construction to conduct an audit on the efficiency of proposed bike lanes.[18]
