dental development and anomalies

dental development and anomalies is a research topic within Molecular Biology. Science Explorer counts 25k research works in it since 1950. 12.3% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the molecular mechanisms, genetic regulation, and signaling pathways involved in tooth development, morphogenesis, and anomalies such as hypodontia and ectodermal dysplasia. It delves into the role of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, stem cell niches, and key signaling pathways like Wnt/ß-catenin in shaping the dentition.
