Common origin shared by teeth and fish could bring regeneration potential closer

A common origin shared by teeth and taste buds in a fish that has regenerative abilities has been identified by a team of researchers from the UK and the US. Regulated by the BMP signalling pathway, the results suggest that the oral organs have surprising regenerative capabilities and can be manipulated to express characteristics of different tissue types. The joint study between King’s College London and Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta was recently published in the journal PNAS . Replacement teeth As nearly one-third of all adults over the age of 65 have lost all their teeth, the two teams set out to understand tooth renewal in animals that have replacement and regeneration capabilities. Building on previous studies in regeneration, the researchers used cichlid fishes and mouse models
