Dental enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, protecting teeth from wear, temperature changes, and decay. However, enamel cannot regenerate once damaged. Inherited disorders, such as ...

Researchers report that they have identified genetic variants that determine the shape of human teeth, including a gene inherited from Neanderthals. The scientists published their paper “PITX2 ...

New research reveals how genes inherited from Neanderthals and critical developmental markers like PITX2 influence tooth size, shedding light on human evolution and genetic diversity. Study: PITX2 ...

A new genetic screening method allows researchers to efficiently modulate individual genes across entire tissues and provides ...

A patient-derived KDF1 mutation was found to impair enamel formation by disrupting cell adhesion and Hippo-YAP signaling in ...

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth—including a gene inherited from Neanderthals—have been identified by a team co-led by UCL researchers. In a paper published in Current Biology, ...

In animals, the work has already produced new teeth. In humans, the most important question is still open. The work follows a ...

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 ...
