The trial, which will take place at Kyoto University Hospital from September to August 2025, will treat 30 males aged 30-64 who are missing at least one molar.

Is only testing on men still a thing in science? Since stuff can have different effects between genders, this could be bad for women.

It's not precluding a subsequent trial that includes women.

Having said that, it is a little odd that it's a men only trial.

Yeah of course. But as you're saying, it's just a little odd. History shows that focusing on one gender does eventually have bad consequences for the other gender.
