Losing teeth has meant artificial replacements for centuries. Japanese researchers at Kyoto University Hospital are changing that with human trials of a drug that regrows natural teeth. By 2030, ...

Dental researchers from Tufts University took cells from the dental pulp of a human tooth and mixed them with cells from the enamel of a pig tooth and seeded them onto a “scaffold.” It was then grown ...

Researchers report that they have identified genetic variants that determine the shape of human teeth, including a gene inherited from Neanderthals. The scientists published their paper “PITX2 ...

For decades, dentists and scientists have dreamed of helping people regrow lost teeth. Now, thanks to remarkable advances in genetics, molecular biology, and regenerative medicine, that dream is ...

For more than a century, dentistry has focused on repairing or replacing damaged teeth, not growing new ones. That assumption is now under direct challenge, as Japanese teams move a first-of-its-kind ...

"Human children grow at a uniquely slow pace by comparison with other mammals. When and where did this schedule evolve? Have technological advances, farming and cities had any effect upon it?
