I wanted to update you guys on two quick things.
The first is that Google just rolled out a new feature to it’s search engine that used to be only available when you used Google Labs Beta. Now when you search, the engine will have other common searches with those keywords appear along with the number of results for that keyword.
I think it is an excellent feature.
The second piece of news of wisdom teeth stem cells.
“Japanese scientists say they have created human stem cells from tissue taken from the discarded wisdom teeth of a 10-year-old girl.”
However, the research suggests that it will be at least 5 years before any practical medical applications. Even so dentists are no starting to hold on to stem cells from wisdom teeth. In fact, I have known about this for nearly a year now, but the issue of harvesting stem cells from wisdom teeth has really generated a lot of buzz in the past few days.
Storing your stem cells from your wisdom teeth is probably the smart choice, so if you do have any extractions you might want to talk to the oral surgeon about this. One day stem cells could help find treatments for many incurable diseases of today.
