Cilk1 deficiency disrupts normal tooth development by altering primary cilia function and weakening Hedgehog signaling. This ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 caries; tooth resistance also plays an instrumental role. Researchers from the University of Zurich demonstrate that mutated genes lead to defects in the tooth ...
