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 ...

Teeth function not only because of the hard enamel on the surface, but also because they have roots that anchor them firmly in the jawbone beneath the gums. Eating, speaking, and maintaining the shape ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Camila Sabatini, DDS, PhD, associate professor of restorative dentistry in the School of Dental Medicine at the University at Buffalo, has received the Harold Amos Medical Faculty ...

Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists led ...

Damaged teeth could one day be repaired with "living fillings" created from stem cells, a new study reports. In the lab, researchers induced stem cells to form small, multicellular mini-organs that ...

FRIDAY, Aug. 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Damaged teeth could one day be repaired with "living fillings" created from stem cells, a new study reports. In the lab, researchers induced stem cells to ...

Researchers from the University of Washington in Seattle report that organoids created from stem cells can secrete the proteins that form dental enamel. Their findings were published in Developmental ...

In the early 2000s, dental clinician and stem cell researcher Songtao Shi’s six-year-old daughter lost her first tooth. Curious, Shi, then at the University of Pennsylvania, took a closer look at its ...

It’s a frustrating fact that our bodies can’t regenerate damaged tooth enamel, but scientists at the University of Washington (UW) have now grown mini teeth in the lab that secrete enamel-producing ...

Camila Sabatini, associate professor of restorative dentistry in the School of Dental Medicine, has received the Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program (AMFDP) award from the Robert Wood ...
