The initiation knot is a signaling center required for molar tooth development [PDF]
Signaling centers, or organizers, regulate many aspects of embryonic morphogenesis. In the mammalian molar tooth, reiterative signaling in specialized centers called enamel knots (EKs) determines tooth patterning.

The Secretome of the Inductive Tooth Germ Exhibits Signals Required for Tooth Development. [PDF]
Teeth develop from reciprocal signaling between inductive and receptive cells. The inductive signals for tooth development are initially in the epithelium of the developing branchial arch, but later shift to the underlying mesenchyme of a developing ...
