"Human children grow at a uniquely slow pace by comparison with other mammals. When and where did this schedule evolve? Have technological advances, farming and cities had any effect upon it?

To this day, cavities and damage to enamel are repaired by dentists with the help of synthetic white filling materials. There is no natural alternative to this. But a new 3D model with human dental ...

University at Buffalo scientists have identified a gene responsible for initiating the normal development of tooth roots in mammals. "This is the first mutation in mice that predominantly affects the ...
