Materials Engineering by Ameloblasts [PDF]
Enamel is unique. It is the only epithelial-derived mineralized tissue in mammals and has a distinct micro- and nanostructure with nanofibrous apatite crystals as building blocks. It is synthesized by a highly specialized cell, the ameloblast, which secretes matrix proteins with little homology to any other known amino acid sequence, but which is ...

Ameloblastic carcinoma secondary type is an extremely rare and aggressive odontogenic neoplasm that exhibits histological features of malignancy in primary and metastatic sites. It arises through carcinomatous de-differentiation of a pre-existing ameloblastoma or odontogenic cyst, typically following repeated treatments and recurrences of the benign ...

Significance of pH cyclization in amelogenesis
The process of amelogenesis is well understood at the histomorphological level, but the regulation of crystal formation and the underlying molecular mechanisms are still largely unknown.

Differential Expression of Hard Tissue Proteins in Hypomineralized Second Primary Molars in Comparison to Normal Teeth. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to identify the proteins in hypomineralized second primary molars (HSPMs) and correlate their function in Amelogenesis. HSPM is a qualitative defect of the enamel of the second primary molars with no clear etiology.

Elucidating the role of keratin 75 in enamel using Krt75tm1Der knock-in mouse model
Keratin 75 (K75) was recently discovered in ameloblasts and enamel organic matrix. Carriers of A161T substitution in K75 present with the skin condition Pseudofollicullitis barbae.

PER2-mediated ameloblast differentiation via PPARγ/AKT1/β-catenin axis
Circadian rhythm is involved in the development and diseases of many tissues. However, as an essential environmental regulating factor, its effect on amelogenesis has not been fully elucidated.
