abstract：:Oral mandibular epithelium determines the position and number of tooth organs. Cranial neural crest-derived ectomesenchyme provides inductive signals for (i) tooth shape, and (ii) sequential determination and expression of several different epithelial-derived enamel proteins. Inductive signalling follows a precise seq...
