Beta-catenin is required in odontoblasts for tooth root formation, according to a new study in the Journal of Dental Research (January 23, 2012). While the molecular and cellular mechanisms of early ...

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 ...

Tooth development is a dynamic process that involves the stages of the bud, the cap, and the bell, followed by root development and subsequent tooth formation. Tooth development is a dynamic process ...

All mice studies were conducted under the proper guidelines for use of experimental animals as defined in our protocols and IACUC-UTHSCSA policies on use of experimental animals. The Bmp2 floxed mice ...

The tooth root, together with the surrounding periodontium, maintains the tooth in the jaw. The root develops after the crown forms, a process called morphogenesis. While the molecular and cellular ...
