Abstract excerpt
1. Though previous studies have shown that fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) mRNA expression localizes in ameloblasts and odontoblasts in teeth, it is unclear what effect FGF23 overexpression has on dentin mineralization and dentinogenesis. Toward this end, the phenotypes of mandibles and teeth were compared between 6-week-old FGF23 transgenic mice and their wild-type littermates by radiography, microcomputed...
