Mice deficient in the EDA protein lack normal tooth features. Restoring EDA in embryonic teeth at increasing doses has now been found to recover these dental features in a stepwise pattern that mimics ...

Oblong crystals 1,000 times thinner than a hair form a jagged 'rocky mountain' structure; Magnesium-induced stress may enhance tooth strength, paper in 'Nature' reports. Oblong crystals 1,000 times ...

This is the second edition of a book originally published in 1998. It has a foreword by Edwina Kidd, whose association must surely endorse it as an important reference text. Initially, it is difficult ...

Scientists used a combination of advanced microscopy and chemical detection techniques to uncover the structural makeup of human tooth enamel at unprecedented atomic resolution, revealing lattice ...

A new study has revealed a chain mail-like woven microstructure that gives parrotfish teeth their remarkable ability to chomp on coral all day long - the structure could serve as a blueprint for ...
