The scientist at Tokyo University of Science has brought laurel to the country by successfully creating a tooth by using stem cells. It is for the first time in the history of science when an organ has been produced using stem cell.

Japanese scientists have created a tooth from stem cells implanted into the kidney of a mouse. It has been reported by the US Public Library of Science Journal that the tooth is fully functional and mature, with bone and ligament around it.

The achievements of the scientists have been published in the journal PLoS One. The successful experiment of the scientists has paved way of creating complex human organ which require blood, nerve and waste supply system.

While acknowledging the finding of the Japanese scientists, Associate Professor David Leavesley from the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation at Queensland University of Technology said, “This shows that you can actually create a mature organ replacement in an artificial situation and then transplant it to become a functional tissue integrated with the recipient. That's never been done before as far as I'm aware”.

All over the world, scientists have already successfully transplanted skin and bladder tissues created from adult’s stem cell. With the help of advanced science, scientists at the O'Brien Institute of Microsurgery, Melbourne, are using stem cells to help women to re-grow breast tissue after cancer surgery.
