We can’t regenerate damaged tooth enamel, but scientists have now grown mini teeth in the lab that secrete enamel-producing proteins. This could be the first step towards “living fillings ...

In March, he received the prestigious American Association for Dental, Oral and Craniofacial Research (AADOCR) Joseph Lister ...

One of the issues has been how to produce, in culture, sufficient numbers of enamel-forming cells. Today, during the 85thth General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, ...

Researchers induced stem cells to form small, multicellular mini-organs that secrete the proteins that form tooth enamel. Photo by Milenafoto/Wikimedia Commons.

One of the issues has been how to produce, in culture, sufficient numbers of enamel-forming cells. Today, during the 85thth General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, ...

The research reveals how targeting the KMT2D gene could help correct oral disorders and prevent craniofacial birth defects.

Enamel is made during tooth formation by specialized cells called ameloblasts. These cells die off once teeth are fully formed, meaning the body has no way to repair or regenerate damaged enamel. The ...

ORAI proteins then help the enamel-forming cells to mineralize. Mutations in the human ORAI1 gene result in immune dysfunction and immune diseases, but people with ORAI1 mutations also have ...

They found that in limpets, the fate of shell-forming cells is specified autonomously, rather than through induction by other cell lineages as previously believed.

Aug 17, 2023 19:00:00 Succeeded in regenerating tooth enamel using stem cells, expected to realize caries regeneration technology. Teeth are made of enamel, dentin, and cementum, and enamel ...

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 ...

Dental enamel is the hardest tissue produced by the body. It cannot regenerate itself, because it is formed by a layer of cells that is lost by the time the tooth appears in the mouth.
