Researchers demonstrated that declining Hedgehog signaling from Cilk1 loss produces stepwise changes in tooth formation ...

A study may shed light on tooth enamel development disruption by revealing a new children's autoimmune disorder that hinders proper tooth enamel development. The disorder is common in people with a ...

Over the next few weeks, the tongue, jaws and palate develop. During the sixth week, formation of embryonic cells or tooth buds that eventually form into teeth commences. By eight weeks, the tooth ...

Look at the teeth on the lab specimen here. Is this the work of a mad scientist? It’s true that UCSF’s Ophir Klein, MD, PhD, was quite satisfied to have produced mice with incisors that more closely ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from Science Tokyo. Using genetically modified mice and lineage-tracing techniques ...

A novel study on the natural coordination of tooth development in time and space, led by Dr. Han-Sung Jung at the Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Korea, has discovered that "lingual" cells on ...

Bacteria are not the sole cause of cavities; tooth resistance also plays an instrumental role. Researchers demonstrate that mutated genes lead to defects in the tooth enamel and can therefore ...
