The dental plate on bichir pectoral fins: A unique dermal skeletal element bearing individual odontodes with tooth‐like replacement

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 127-140, July 2026.
Pectoral fins of bichirs encompass the so‐called dental plates – unique dermal skeletal elements with individual odontodes identical to the oral teeth. Abstract The dermal skeleton appeared early in vertebrate evolution in the form of mineralized skin denticles composed of tooth‐like units—odontodes.

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Follistatin Regulates Enamel Patterning in Mouse Incisors by Asymmetrically Inhibiting BMP Signaling and Ameloblast Differentiation

, 2004
Rodent incisors are covered by enamel only on their labial side. This asymmetric distribution of enamel is instrumental to making the cutting edge sharp. Enamel matrix is secreted by ameloblasts derived from dental epithelium.

Odontogenic Ameloblast-associated Protein (ODAM) Mediates Junctional Epithelium Attachment to Teeth via Integrin-ODAM-Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor 5 (ARHGEF5)-RhoA Signaling

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Background: Adhesion of the junctional epithelium (JE) to the tooth surface is crucial for maintaining periodontal health. Results: JE adhesion to the tooth surface is regulated via fibronectin/laminin-integrin-ODAM-ARHGEF5-RhoA signaling.

Periodontitis treatment and microbiome in a patient with FAM20A mutation: Case study of 1.5 years

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 330-337, June 2026.
Abstract Background Enamel‐renal‐gingival syndrome (ERGS) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the FAMily with sequence similarity 20A (FAM20A) gene, and is characterized by amelogenesis imperfecta, delayed or failed tooth eruption, and periodontitis.

beta-Catenin/LEF1 activated enamelin expression in ameloblast-like cells

, 2010
Enamelin is an ameloblast-specific matrix protein believed to play essential roles in enamel formation. However, mechanisms of enamelin transcription regulation are not clear.

The Meaning of Mangabey Molars (And Premolars)

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The postcanine teeth of mangabeys (members of Cercocebus and Lophocebus) have figured prominently in discussions about the relationship between hard‐object feeding and dental form. Grey‐cheeked mangabeys (Lophocebus albigena) and sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) both have thickly enameled posterior teeth.

Ers Induced Autophagy Protects Via Grp78/Ire1 In Dental Fluorosis

International Dental Journal
Aim or purpose: To study the expression changes of GRP78 and p-IRE1 when endoplasmic reticulum stress occurs in ALC, and to explore the regulation of autophagy and apoptosis mechanisms on ameloblast cells after the occurrence of stress.
