Tooth root development relies on precise coordination of cellular signals, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Researchers have uncovered how two proteins, Gli2 and Gli3, work together to ...

A protein that quietly suppresses tooth growth may hold the key to regrowing teeth in adults, according to a line of research that has moved from mouse models to the doorstep of human clinical trials.

For decades, dentists and scientists have dreamed of helping people regrow lost teeth. Now, thanks to remarkable advances in genetics, molecular biology, and regenerative medicine, that dream is ...

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 ...

Losing teeth has meant artificial replacements for centuries. Japanese researchers at Kyoto University Hospital are changing that with human trials of a drug that regrows natural teeth. By 2030, ...

Baby teeth, officially called primary teeth, typically begin their journey into the world when infants reach around six months of age. That first tiny tooth breaking through the gums marks an exciting ...
