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 ...

Researchers discovered that disrupted PTH1R signaling drives abnormal cementum growth and tooth-bone fusion in adult ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered the stem cells, CXCL12, that anchor teeth to the bone, opening up new possibilities for ...

Scientists are uncovering a surprising link between hidden tooth infections and blood sugar problems. Deep infections around ...
