Physicists and mathematicians use the classical Stefan problem to explain the principles of crystal formation, such as snowflakes. Researchers in the University of Helsinki and Aalto University have ...

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, yet once damaged, it cannot regenerate naturally. To overcome this ...

New avenues for prevention and therapy According to Mitsiadis, understanding the genetic code that controls tooth development, the knowledge of the molecular connections during enamel formation, and ...

According to a recent study, tooth enamel damage common in celiac disease may be caused by an autoimmune reaction triggered by gut or food proteins. The Institute of Dentistry at the University of ...

Researchers at the UZH Center for Dental Medicine have investigated the importance of the Notch pathway for the evolution of tooth morphology. Mutations in this signaling pathway can lead to defective ...

Scientists have identified a gene responsible for the formation of enamel, which is the key component of the teeth. The experiments were accomplished in mice carrying a deletion of the transcription ...

Biologists report new evidence for evolutionary change recorded in both the fossil record and the genomes (or genetic blueprints) of living organisms, providing fresh support for Charles Darwin's ...

The CENIEH has conducted the first study which tackles counting the two types of enamel growth lines, in Lower Pleistocene and Middle Pleistocene populations in Europe. The data obtained in this ...

To the naked eye, enamel looks like a plain white solid. Chemically, though, enamel has a lot going on. It contains small amounts of proteins, traces of ions such as sodium, as well as water. Mostly, ...
