P.S. I am curious if the Tooth Fairy is going to make her huge collection of teeth available for medical research.

Thanks for linking that interesting bit that fits in very well in this thread. No, I certainly hadn't thought about stem cells from teeth either. With the exception of hair it would have been about the last tissue I would have put my money on.
It almost conjures up Jurassic Park ideas, create organism from any bit of old tissue. Hmmm, those teeth in that T-rex skeleton I saw in the museum.....let me think.
greets,
Peter
