Mutations in, both, mouse and humans reveal the involvement of several classes of genes in ameloblast life cycle and its function, a process that emerges as a model for elucidating the …

Ameloblasts are cells present only during tooth development that deposit tooth enamel, which is the hard outermost layer of the tooth forming the surface of the crown. Each ameloblast is a …

Fluid phase endocytosis represents an uptake mechanism documented as occurring in ameloblasts. The process of fluid phase endocytosis trafficking of cargo can be demonstrated …

Each enamel rod follows a retreating Tomes' process from a single ameloblast. At the end of the secretory stage, ameloblasts lose their Tomes' process and produce a thin layer of aprismatic …

An ameloblast is a unique cell type responsible for secreting the enamel matrix during tooth development. It is derived from oral ectodermal cells and is the only cell in teeth at birth that …

The differentiation process of epithelial cells is characterized by marked changes in their morphology and polarity, accompanied by dynamic cytoskeletal reorganization and changes in …

2012年9月21日 · In this review, we describe how amelogenesis is highly integrated with ameloblast cell activities and how the shape, orientation and organization of enamel mineral …

2015年8月12日 · Ameloblast differentiation is the most critical stepwise process in amelogenesis, and it is controlled by precise molecular events. To better understand the mechanism …

The ameloblast controls the conformation and vector of movement of the secretory Tomes’ processes, which in turn dictates the orientations of the protein matrix. The behavior of the …

2016年10月16日 · We demonstrate that wild‐type enamel ribbons initiate on dentin mineral on the sides and tips of mineralized collagen fibers, and extend in clusters from dentin to the …
