Abstract excerpt
During tooth development, oral epithelial cells differentiate into ameloblasts in order to form the most mineralized tissue in the vertebrate body: enamel. During this process, ameloblasts directionally secrete enamel matrix proteins and morphologically change from low columnar cells to polarized...
