Stem cells have emerged as a transformative resource in dental and periodontal research, offering promising avenues for tissue regeneration and repair. In dentistry, both dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from Science Tokyo. Using genetically modified mice and lineage-tracing techniques ...

A novel study on the natural coordination of tooth development in time and space, led by Dr. Han-Sung Jung at the Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Korea, has discovered that "lingual" cells on ...

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.

About 1 in 10 children are born with at least one missing permanent tooth due to congenital anomalies. And a much higher percentage of adults lose teeth from decay or injury over their lifetimes.
