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 system of opposing genetic forces determines why mammals develop a single row of teeth, while sharks sport several, according to a study published today in the journal Science. When completely ...

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 ...

Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists led ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have grown a tooth in a lab, marking a significant step toward regenerative dental treatments. The study, carried out in London by King's College and Imperial College, used a specially ...

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions ...

Losing teeth has meant artificial replacements for centuries. Japanese researchers at Kyoto University Hospital are changing that with human trials of a drug that regrows natural teeth. By 2030, ...
