Japanese scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in stem cell research that could revolutionize the treatment of dental loss. The recent study reveals the identification of two specific stem ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from Science Tokyo. Using genetically modified mice and lineage-tracing techniques ...

With age, teeth get increasingly brittle and susceptible to damage from tooth decay, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. Teeth have an intrinsic capability to regenerate, a process that is driven ...

Tooth loss and bone degeneration are problems that modern medicine still struggles to fix. Data from the National Bone Health Policy Institute shows that 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have ...

In the early 2000s, dental clinician and stem cell researcher Songtao Shi’s six-year-old daughter lost her first tooth. Curious, Shi, then at the University of Pennsylvania, took a closer look at its ...

As people get older, teeth become more fragile and vulnerable to tooth decay. But younger teeth are more resilient. Within teeth are cells called odontoblasts that produce the important structural ...
