A clinical trial will soon begin in patients with severe birth defects. With this in mind, the team at Columbia University set out to find a better way to treat these problems. The team is set to begin human trials on six patients who have shortened faces with an open bite. 'What we found in this new work could be transformative,' Vunjak-Novakovic said. 'About 10 million people in the United States alone suffer from TMJ dysfunction due to birth defects, trauma, or disease.'
About eight millions of people in the U.S. alone suffer from SRECs.
