Dental enamel is the hardest and most mineralized tissue in extinct and extant vertebrate
species and provides maximum durability that allows teeth to function as weapons and/or …

Tooth enamel is a complex mineralized tissue consisting of long and parallel apatite crystals
configured into decussating enamel rods. In recent years, multiple approaches have been …

Enamel is a hard nanocomposite bioceramic with significant resilience that protects the
mammalian tooth from external physical and chemical damages. The remarkable …

Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions guide tooth development through its early stages and
establish the morphology of the dentin surface upon which enamel will be deposited …

Enamel crystals are unique in shape, orientation and organization. They are hundreds of
thousands times longer than they are wide, run parallel to each other, are oriented with …

Circadian rhythms are self-sustaining oscillations within biological systems that play key
roles in a diverse multitude of physiological processes. The circadian clock mechanisms in …

Mammalian dental enamel is a key archive for the reconstruction of past environments.
Sequentially mineralizing enamel provides continuous, several year-long records, which …

Fully mature enamel is about 98% mineral by weight. While mineral crystals appear very
early during its formative phase, the newly secreted enamel is a soft gel-like matrix …

The gene repertoire regulating vertebrate biomineralization is poorly understood. Dental
enamel, the most highly mineralized tissue in mammals, differs from other calcifying systems …

Amelogenesis is the process of dental enamel formation, leading to the deposition of the
hardest tissue in the human body. This process requires the intricate regulation of ion …
