Tooth shape formation and tooth renewal: evolving with the same signals
J Jernvall, I Thesleff - Development, 2012 - journals.biologists.com
Teeth are found in almost all vertebrates, and they therefore provide a general paradigm for
the study of epithelial organ development and evolution. Here, we review the developmental …
