Molecular dynamics simulations of the intrinsically disordered protein amelogenin
John Christopher Plummer, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Alessandra Apicella, Vincenzo Colangelo
Amelogenin refers to a class of intrinsically disordered proteins that are the major constituents of enamel matrix derivative (EMD), an extract of porcine fetal teeth used in regenerative periodontal therapy. Modifications in molecular conformation induced ...
Taylor & Francis Inc2017Dental Phenotype in Jalili Syndrome Due to a c.1312 dupC Homozygous Mutation in the CNNM4 Gene
Jalili syndrome denotes a recessively inherited combination of an eye disease (cone-rod dystrophy) and a dental disorder (amelogenesis imperfecta), which is caused by mutations in the CNNM4 gene. Whereas the ophthalmic consequences of these mutations have ...
Public Library of Science2013Epiprofin/Sp6: A new player in the regulation of tooth development
Odontogenesis is governed by a complex network of intercellular signaling events between the dental epithelium and mesenchyme. This network leads to the progressive determination of tooth shape, and to the differentiation of these tissues into enamel-produ ...
2010Influence of bias voltage on the microstructure and physical properties of magnetron sputtered Zr–Si–N nanocomposite thin films
Rosendo Sanjines, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, David Oezer
e report an investigation concerning the influence of ion bombardment on the nanostructure and physical properties of Zr–Si–N nanocomposite thin films. The films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from individual Zr and Si targets. The Si cont ...
2009Control of thrombin signaling through PI3K is a mechanism underlying plasticity between hair follicle dermal sheath and papilla cells
In hair follicles, dermal papilla (DP) and dermal sheath (DS) cells exhibit striking levels of plasticity, as each can regenerate both cell types. Here, we show that thrombin induces a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathway-dependent acquisition of D ...
Company of Biologists2008Molecular energy dissipation in nanoscale networks of dentin matrix protein 1 is strongly dependent on ion valence
The fracture resistance of biomineralized tissues such as bone, dentin, and abalone is greatly enhanced through the nanoscale interactions of stiff inorganic mineral components with soft organic adhesive components. A proper understanding of the interactio ...
