Researchers have investigated the importance of the Notch pathway for the evolution of tooth morphology. Mutations in this signalling pathway can lead to defective structures in tooth enamel. Studies ...

Researchers demonstrated that declining Hedgehog signaling from Cilk1 loss produces stepwise changes in tooth formation ...

The evolution and development of complex molars as a key innovation in mammals have long been of interest yet remain poorly understood. With reference to century-old theories and modern findings, we ...

To state something very obvious, sharks are dangerous. Much of that danger has to do with their teeth — both in terms of how ...

New research reveals how genes inherited from Neanderthals and critical developmental markers like PITX2 influence tooth size, shedding light on human evolution and genetic diversity. Study: PITX2 ...

The study of dental education and student learning in anatomy has evolved into a multidisciplinary field that bridges traditional didactic instruction with innovative technological approaches.
