Background: Tooth development during the embryonic period is a complex process that needs enough nutrition for the formation of healthy dental tissue. Kallikrein-related peptidase-4 (KLK-4) is a serine proteinase secreted by ameloblast during transition ...

An integrated gene regulatory network controls stem cell proliferation in teeth. [PDF]
Epithelial stem cells reside in specific niches that regulate their self-renewal and differentiation, and are responsible for the continuous regeneration of tissues such as hair, skin, and gut.

We have recently developed a novel in vitro model using HAT-7 rat ameloblast cells to functionally study epithelial ion transport during amelogenesis. Our present aims were to identify key transporters of bicarbonate in HAT-7 cells and also to examine ...

Deciphering the functions of Stromal Interaction Molecule-1 in amelogenesis using AmelX-iCre mice
Introduction: The intracellular Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is thought to play a critical role in enamel development, as its mutations cause Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI).

4-phenylbutyrate Mitigates Fluoride-Induced Cytotoxicity in ALC Cells
Chronic fluoride over-exposure during pre-eruptive enamel development can cause dental fluorosis. Severe dental fluorosis is characterized by porous, soft enamel that is vulnerable to erosion and decay.

The effect of inhibiting p38 MAPK on the expression of genes related to enamel development in mice
Objective To study the effect of p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) on the expression of genes related to enamel development in the enamel epithelium and to provide a basis for the study of the molecular mechanism of enamel development ...

A secretory kinase complex regulates extracellular protein phosphorylation. [PDF]
Although numerous extracellular phosphoproteins have been identified, the protein kinases within the secretory pathway have only recently been discovered, and their regulation is virtually unexplored.

Intravesicular Phosphatase PHOSPHO1 Function in Enamel Mineralization and Prism Formation
The transport of mineral ions from the enamel organ-associated blood vessels to the developing enamel crystals involves complex cargo packaging and carriage mechanisms across several cell layers, including the ameloblast layer and the stratum intermedium.

Calcium Sets the Clock in Ameloblasts
BackgroundStromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is one of the main components of the store operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) signaling pathway. Individuals with mutated STIM1 present severely hypomineralized enamel characterized as amelogenesis imperfecta (AI)

Energy metabolic shift contributes to the phenotype modulation of maturation stage ameloblasts
Maturation stage ameloblasts (M-ABs) are responsible for terminal enamel mineralization in teeth and undergo characteristic cyclic changes in both morphology and function between ruffle-ended ameloblasts (RA) and smooth-ended ameloblasts (SA).
