Researchers report that they have identified genetic variants that determine the shape of human teeth, including a gene inherited from Neanderthals. The scientists published their paper “PITX2 ...

While many people worry about the photogenic layout of their teeth, chances are most don’t think about individual tooth shape. Well, you should—because it might be partially determined by your ...

One of the remaining challenges for evolutionary developmental studies of mammals, whose evolution is best known from their teeth, is how their tooth shape is altered during development. Researchers ...

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth – including a gene inherited from Neanderthals – have been identified by a team co-led by UCL researchers. In a new paper published in Current ...
