Neural crest cells are multipotential stem cells that contribute extensively to vertebrate
development and give rise to various cell and tissue types. Determination of the fate of …

Now entering its 40th anniversary, the fifth edition of Oral Anatomy, Histology and
Embryology has been thoroughly overhauled, updated and augmented to meet the needs of …

A wealth of information has recently become available on the molecular signals that are

Dental anomalies are caused by complex interactions between genetic, epigenetic and
environmental factors during the long process of dental development. This process is …

The nature of tooth enamel is of inherent interest to dental professionals. The current‐day
clinical practice of dentistry involves the prevention of enamel demineralization, the …

Vertebrate Msx genes are unlinked, homeobox-containing genes that bear homology to the
Drosophila muscle segment homeobox gene. These genes are expressed at multiple sites …

Close regulation of odontoblast differentiation and subsequent secretory activity is critical for
dentinogenesis during both embryogenesis and tissue repair. Some dental papilla cells …

The morphogenesis and cell differentiation in develo** teeth is governed by interactions
