An Evo-Devo perspective on ever-growing teeth in mammals and dental stem cell maintenance
28 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
A major challenge for current evolutionary and developmental biology research is to understand the evolution of morphogenesis and the mechanisms involved. Teeth are well suited for the investigation of developmental processes. In addition, since teeth are composed of hard-mineralized tissues, primarily apatite, that are readily preserved, the evolution of mammals is well documented through their teeth in the...
