Structure and organization of odontoblasts

The Anatomical Record, 1996
Differentiation of odontoblasts involves cell-to-cell recognition, contact stabilization involving the formation of attachment specializations, cytoplasmic polarization, development of the protein synthetic and secretory apparatus, and the active transport of mineral ions.

Expression of amelogenin in odontoblasts

Bone, 2003
Amelogenin is the major enamel protein produced by ameloblasts. Its expression has been shown to be down-regulated in ameloblasts of vitamin-D-deficient (-D) rats. The potential expression and localization of amelogenin in odontoblasts and its regulation by vitamin D were investigated in this study.

The Amazing Odontoblast

Journal of Dental Research, 2013
Odontoblasts are dentin-secreting cells that survive for the whole life of a healthy tooth. Once teeth are completely erupted, odontoblasts transform into a mature stage that allows for their functional conservation for decades, while maintaining the capacity for secondary and reactionary dentin secretion.

Cathepsind activity in isolated odontoblasts

Calcified Tissue Research, 1977
The presence of an acid proteinase with a high activity has been demonstrated in isolated odontoblast-predentine material from dentinogenically active rat incisors. The enzyme was identified as cathepsin D (EC 3.4.23.5). The possible significance of the enzymatic degradation of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans in the course of the calcification ...

Membrane junctions on cat odontoblasts

Archives of Oral Biology, 1975
Abstract The odontoblast layer of the pulp was examined after perfusion fixation with buffered aldehydes. Desmosomal junctions occur between only some of the odontoblasts at the predentinal border. Pale cytoplasmic processes similar in morphology to nerve terminals in the intercellular spaces make specialized junctions on the cell bodies of the ...

Odontoblast differentiation.

The International journal of developmental biology, 1995
Odontoblasts are post-mitotic, neural crest-derived, cells which overtly differentiate according to tooth specific temporo-spatial patterns and secrete predentin-dentin components. Neither the timing nor the molecular mechanisms of their specification are known and the problem of their patterning in the developing jaws is far from being solved.

Ca2+ Channels in Odontoblasts

Journal of Oral Biosciences, 2010
Abstract Odontoblasts, well-polarized columnar cells at the periphery of the dental pulp, originate from neural crest cells. They are primarily involved in dentin formation (dentinogenesis) as sites of the synthesis and secretion of collagenous and non-collagenous matrix proteins, and also participate in the directional transport of Ca 2+ from the ...

Mitochondria in Odontoblastic Processes

Nature, 1966
THE odontoblastic processes of human dentin are projections of the odontoblast cytoplasm into spaces in the dense collagenous, highly mineralized dentin matrix1. These projections can be up to several mm in length resulting in the cytoplasm being a long distance (2,000–3,000µ) from the odontoblast nucleus.

Dentin sensitivity and aspiration of odontoblasts

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1963
The aspiration of odontoblasts into the dentinal tubules as an immediate effect of physical stimuli applied to exposed dentin seems to result from loss of sub­ stance at the distal apertures of the tubules and subsequent outward flow of the tubular contents through capillary action.

Odontoblast differentiation and the formation of the odontoblast layer.

Journal of dental research, 1985
Origin, cell kinetics, and phenotypic aspects of odontoblast cell lineage are described. Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions regulate odontoblast differentiation. These interactions appear to be mediated by the extracellular matrix. Possible molecular mechanisms of cell-matrix interactions are discussed.
