I'm still waiting for one of those breakthroughs we've been hearing for 20 years to actually make it to market.

Specifically in the teeth recuperation department.

Or the cochlear hair cell department.

oh man, this would be huge. Again one of those parts of the body that doesn't regenerate

Lab meat is a technology that has more funding and institutional backers and in my opinion, if a breakthrough occurs, it'll be in that domain first.

And by the looks of it, we're still a few years away from the real deal.

How is this different than Biocardia (BCDA)? Curious because I took a flyer on it when a MD told me this was only thing he's seen which can repair hear muscle.

Is there substance behind it? BCDA became a WSB meme stock at some point.

Synthetic cartilage is what we really need, and there’s a huge market for it.

I don't understand why there's so much focus on muscles and bones. Every orthopedist I've known says that cartilage repair is the holy grail.
