Scientists Find “On–Off” Stem‑Cell Switch That Could Regrow Teeth and Jawbone — New Nature Communications Study Maps the Pathway
What’s new A multinational team (Institute of Science Tokyo, UTHealth Houston, University of Michigan and collaborators) reports that a Hedgehog–FOXF axis acts as a developmental switch in dental follicle stem cells—the progenitors that build the alveolar bone anchoring teeth. When Hedgehog signaling
