Researchers demonstrated that declining Hedgehog signaling from Cilk1 loss produces stepwise changes in tooth formation ...

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 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 ...

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, protecting the innermost layers of the tooth, including the dentin and pulp. Some genetic disorders, however, result in weakened enamel that ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- University at Buffalo scientists have identified a gene responsible for initiating the normal development of tooth roots in mammals. Researchers made this discovery by creating a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Learn how growth patterns in tooth enamel and residues trapped in dental plaque were used to reconstruct childhood ...
