The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $157,500 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Ohio State University to conduct research on the cellular mechanisms regulating tooth development. The research aims to determine how the signaling molecule SEMA7A influences the mineralization of dentin, elongation of tooth roots, and innervation of teeth. The study will use global and conditional SEMA7A knockout mouse models as well as in vitro co-culture assays with dental pulp cells and trigeminal neurons to understand how SEMA7A signaling coordinates these critical processes during the early postnatal period of tooth development. This research is expected to advance the understanding of tooth development and support the development of regenerative endodontic treatments to address tooth injuries and diseases.
