Dental enamel is the hardest and most mineralized tissue in extinct and extant vertebrate
species and provides maximum durability that allows teeth to function as weapons and/or …

Hypomineralization of developing enamel is associated with changes in ameloblast
modulation during the maturation stage. Modulation (or pH cycling) involves the cyclic …

The gills and heart are two major targets of hypoxia in fish. However, the molecular
responses in fish gills and heart to hypoxia challenge remain unclear. Here, RNA-Seq …

Dental epithelial stem cells give rise to four types of dental epithelial cells: inner enamel
epithelium (IEE), outer enamel epithelium (OEE), stratum intermedium (SI), and stellate …

The bicarbonate ion has a fundamental role in vital systems. Impaired bicarbonate transport
leads to various diseases, including immune disorders, cystic fibrosis, tumorigenesis, kidney …

Dental enamel malformations, or amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), can be isolated or
syndromic. To improve the prospects of making a successful diagnosis by genetic testing, it …

ABSTRACT Claudin‐16 protein (CLDN16) is a component of tight junctions (TJ) with a
restrictive distribution so far demonstrated mainly in the kidney. Here, we demonstrate the …

The solute carrier family 4 (SLC4) is an important protein responsible for the transport of
various ions across the cell membrane and mediating diverse physiological functions, such …

Background The oral cavity is an important reservoir of microorganisms and can be a
potential source of infection of the respiratory tract in CF patients. The literature on the oral …

During their life, crustaceans undergo several molts, which if theoretically compared to the
human body would be equivalent to replacing all bones at a single event. Such a dramatic …
