Tooth root development relies on precise coordination of cellular signals, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Researchers have uncovered how two proteins, Gli2 and Gli3, work together to ...

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 ...

Enamel, the hardest and most mineral-rich substance in the human body, covers and protects our teeth. But in one of every 10 people – and in one third of children with celiac disease – this layer ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo oral biologist Hyuk-Jae (Edward) Kwon recently published a study examining how the gene KMT2D (also known as MLL4) affects the development of tooth enamel. The ...

The interaction between Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) and surrounding mesenchymal cells is crucial for root dentin formation. HERS influences tooth root development and odontoblast ...

Several genes affect tooth development in the first year of life, according to the findings of a study conducted at Imperial College London, the University of Bristol in the U.K., and the University ...

University at Buffalo scientists have identified a gene responsible for initiating the normal development of tooth roots in mammals. "This is the first mutation in mice that predominantly affects the ...
