The claim that Japanese researchers developed an RNA-based drug to regrow teeth is inaccurate. The drug is antibody-based, targeting the USAG-1 protein to stimulate tooth regeneration. There is no evidence to suggest that RNA technology is involved in this treatment. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/03/210329122852.htm https://www.science.org/doi/pdf/10.1126/sciadv.abf1798

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1867593589452165145

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
