The biomolecular mechanisms that regulate tooth root development and odontoblast differentiation are poorly understood.We found that Atp6i deficient mice(Atp6i^(−/−))arrested tooth root formation,indicated by truncate...

Mouse dental papilla cells(mDPCs)are cranial neural crest-derived dental mesenchymal cells that give rise to dentin-secreting odontoblasts after the bell stage during odontogenesis.The odontoblastic differentiation of...

The interaction between Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) and the adjacent mesenchyme is vitally important in mouse tooth root development. We previously generated odontoblast-specific Ctnnbl (encodingβ-cat...

Dentin matrix protein 1(DMP1) is essential to odontogenesis. Its mutations in human subjects lead to dental problems such as dental deformities, hypomineralization and periodontal impairment. Primarily, DMP1 is cons...

Generally, the dental pulp needs to be removed when it is infected, and root canal therapy(RCT) is usually required in which infected dental pulp is replaced with inorganic materials(paste and gutta percha). This trea...
Odontogenic differentiation and precise mechanism of dentinogenisis have not been well characterized partly because of the limited life span of native odontoblast. The ubiquitous transcription factor c-Myc, encoded by...
