As the MIT Technology Review explains, researchers at Tufts bioengineered this fascinating monstrosity using a mix of bovine and human tooth cells that were grown inside bits of pig teeth. The idea behind this terrifying lab-made concoction is, to be fair, pretty solid. Lead investigator Pamela Yelick, a who runs an eponymous tissue bioengin
