Open Source@lemmy.ml•µcad: New open source programming language that can generate 2D sketches and 3DEnglish
14·1 month agoWhy is this better than the scripting environment in other CAD systems? I’m particular, I looked a bit at https://openscad.org/ previously, though didn’t make much headway modeling the thing I wanted.

science@lemmy.world•Humans may grow a third set of teethEnglish
24·3 months agoThe articles self summary pretty much covers the content:
A study out of Japan showed how targeting genes can regrow teeth in animals. Now, the team has turned to a human clinical trial. By targeting the USAG-1 gene, researchers believe that they can help people without a full set of teeth regrow teeth. The team says that humans have a third set of teeth available as buds, ready to grow as needed.

8·3 months agoBummer, I had a pretty high opinion of RPI up until now. I would say ‘wait and see what results get published,’ but we saw how that worked out with the elections, and I can’t imagine anyone would take that money without knowing the result they’re expected to deliver.
