Bioengineering of a human whole tooth: progress and challenge
Cell Regeneration, 2014 A major challenge in stem cell-based bioengineering of an implantable human tooth is to identify appropriate sources of postnatal stem cells that are odontogenic competent as the epithelial component due to the lack of enamel epithelial cells in adult ...

Automatic Tooth Arrangement with Joint Features of Point and Mesh Representations via Diffusion Probabilistic Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Tooth arrangement is a crucial step in orthodontics treatment, in which aligning teeth could improve overall well-being, enhance facial aesthetics, and boost self-confidence. To improve the efficiency of tooth arrangement and minimize errors associated with unreasonable designs by inexperienced practitioners, some deep learning-based tooth arrangement ...

On a model mechanism for the spatial patterning of teeth primordia in the Alligator [PDF]
, 1996 We propose a model mechanism for the initiation and spatial positioning of teeth primordia in the alligator,Alligator mississippiensis. Detailed embryological studies by Westergaard & Ferguson (1986, 1987, 1990) show that jaw growth plays a crucial role ...

Molecular mechanism for transcriptional regulation of the parathyroid hormone gene by Epiprofin
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from the chief cells in the parathyroid glands is regulated by the concentration of extracellular calcium. Epiprofin (Epfn) expression is induced by NFATc2 in response to elevated serum calcium, and Epfn negatively regulates PTH production.
