Positional information plays a crucial role in embryonic pattern formation, yet its role in tooth development remains unexplored. In this study, we investigated the regional specification of lingual ...

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. Processes such as the bud-to-cap ...

Representative images and heatmaps illustrate how human fetal tooth germs from the upper and lower jaws, although morphologically similar at the cap stage, already display distinct gene expression ...

The interaction between genetics and tissue environment shapes how individual teeth form in different regions of the jaw. While most experimental studies have focused on mandibular (lower jaw) teeth, ...

A novel study on the natural coordination of tooth development in time and space, led by Dr. Han-Sung Jung at the Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Korea, has discovered that "lingual" cells on ...

Mammalian tooth development progresses through two principal stages-crown formation and root development-orchestrated by intricate interactions between the oral epithelium and neural crest-derived ...
