Atp6i deficient mouse model uncovers transforming growth factor-β1 /Smad2/3 as a key signaling pathway regulating odontoblast differentiation and tooth root formation

Abstract The biomolecular mechanisms that regulate tooth root development and odontoblast differentiation are poorly understood. We found that Atp6i deficient mice (Atp6i −/− ) arrested tooth root formation, indicated by truncated Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS) progression. Furthermore, Atp...
