Targeted p120-catenin ablation disrupts dental enamel development.

Targeted p120-catenin ablation disrupts dental enamel development.

Dental enamel development occurs in stages. The ameloblast cell layer is adjacent to, and is responsible for, enamel formation. When rodent pre-ameloblasts become tall columnar secretory-stage ameloblasts, they secrete enamel matrix proteins, and the ameloblasts start moving in rows that slide by on...
