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 scientists have identified a gene responsible for initiating the normal development of tooth roots in mammals. Researchers made this discovery by creating a mouse lacking the gene ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
