Molecular evidence from a 2-million-year-old southern African hominid species indicates sex and genetic differences in P. robustus.

A new study published in Nature traces the evolutionary origin of human teeth to sensory structures found on the exoskeletons ...

From this type of sample, ancient DNA techniques enable the reconstruction of human and pathogen genomes from the past. In ...

Now, according to a study published in the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine, researchers have shown it’s possible to cultivate lab-grown human teeth cells inside of a pig’s mouth.

Building off work published late last year in ACS Macro Letters, a team at King’s College London is developing methods for lab-grown replacement teeth and fillings made from human cells.

“This environment can be better adjusted to promote the process of tooth-making. With this, we might be one step closer to growing human teeth in a lab in the near future.” Xuechen ...
