These are notwworthy and relevant breakthroughs, yes, but I don’t see us doing anything dramatic with this technology in less than a decade, maybe two. And that’s just for something like regrowing teeth, way longer timeline for anything fancier. We’re still just basically optimising old tech right now. New battery designs incoming, solar panel tech is getting better (slowly), we are moving, yes.

Cas9 gene editing through CRISPR has opened a ton of incredibly valuable medical options around that time. The same with mRNA vaccination breakthroughs leading into the COVID era.

But mRNA isn’t new. It just got the recognition with COVID. They used to burn could you imagine if they released the vaccine and it had a burning sensation.
