Dental researchers from Tufts University took cells from the dental pulp of a human tooth and mixed them with cells from the enamel of a pig tooth and seeded them onto a “scaffold.” It was then grown ...

Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from ...

A new way of looking at tooth enamel could give scientists a path to deeper understanding of the health of human populations, from the ancient to the modern. The method examines two immune proteins ...

Researchers in Beijing have generated a transcriptomic atlas comparing human fetal tooth germs from the upper and lower jaws at the critical cap stage of development. Previous studies of tooth ...

Scientists have grown a tooth in a lab, marking a significant step toward regenerative dental treatments. The study, carried out in London by King's College and Imperial College, used a specially ...

In a remarkable breakthrough, scientists at King’s College London have successfully grown human teeth in a laboratory for the first time, offering a glimpse into a future where damaged or missing ...

Microchips that mimic parts of the human body may sound futuristic, but these devices -- called organs-on-chips -- are already being used to study human biology. Made from plastic, with grooves that ...

Paleontologists in Laos have uncovered an ancient molar that likely belonged to a young Denisovan girl. The discovery is a big deal, as the Laotian cave in which the molar was found is now one of only ...

A new way of looking at tooth enamel could give scientists a path to deeper understanding of the health of human populations, from the ancient to the modern. The method, published this week in the ...
