SEATTLE — Scientists at the University of Washington are taking stem cell research to a new level. They're working to regenerate something people often take for granted: our teeth. A multidisciplinary ...

Damaged teeth could one day be repaired with "living fillings" created from stem cells, a new study reports. In the lab, researchers induced stem cells to form small, multicellular mini-organs that ...

Teeth function not only because of the hard enamel on the surface, but also because they have roots that anchor them firmly ...

Researchers from the University of Washington in Seattle report that organoids created from stem cells can secrete the proteins that form dental enamel. Their findings were published in Developmental ...

It’s a frustrating fact that our bodies can’t regenerate damaged tooth enamel, but scientists at the University of Washington (UW) have now grown mini teeth in the lab that secrete enamel-producing ...

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 ...

The most comprehensive genetic map of oral stem cells to date has provided new insight into their specialized development pathways and opens the door to targeted regenerative medicine and ...
