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 ...

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 ...

Welcome to the future of dentistry, where scientists are in a high-stakes race to regenerate every part of your tooth—dentine, enamel, root, and even the nerve tissue.

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered 'medical gold' that can be extracted from people's obsolete wisdom teeth. Many people choose to get their wisdom teeth removed despite no immediate need, like infection, just ...
