Enamel formation, or amelogenesis, is an intricate developmental process in which specialised epithelial cells known as ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix proteins and orchestrate the mineralisation of ...

A new research study published in the November issue of Developmental Cell identifies a molecular mechanism that controls the precise patterning of enamel formation on incisor teeth. Mouse incisors ...

Tooth enamel is the strongest substance produced by the human body, protecting the sensitive lower layers of the teeth. But once it wears away, we can’t regrow it. The cells that create enamel, called ...

Regenerative medicine promises novel therapies for tissue regeneration, including the potential to replace missing teeth with bioengineered tissues. Tooth formation is guided by reciprocal signaling ...
