Abstract

Enamel knot (EK) is known to be a central organ in tooth development, especially for cusp patterning. To trace the exact position and movement among the inner dental epithelium (IDE) and EK cells, and to monitor the relationship between the EK and cusp patterning, it is essential that we understand the cell cycle status of the EK in early stages of tooth development. In this study, thymidine analogous (IdU, BrdU) staining was used to evaluate the cell cycle phase of the primary EK at the early casp stage (E13.0) and the gerbil embryo (E19) in a developing mouse embryo. The centerpiece of this study was to describe the cell cycle phasing and sequencing during proliferation in the IDE according to the expression of IdU and BrdU following their injection at calculated time points. The interval time between IdU injection and BrdU injection was set at 4 h. As a result, the cell cycle in the IDE of the mouse and gerbil was found to be synchronous. Conversely, the cell cycle in primary EKs of mice was much longer than that of the IDE. Therefore, the difference of cell cycle of the IDE and the EK is related to the diversity of cusp patterning and would provide a new insight into tooth morphogenesis.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 April 2018.
All research outputs
#21,697,638
of 24,217,893 outputs
Outputs from Histochemistry and Cell Biology
#774
of 926 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#293,679
of 332,734 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Histochemistry and Cell Biology
#13
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,217,893 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 926 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 332,734 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
