an animal model, the UAB researchers found that a lack of Using Se sp7, a trancription factor, interupts the maturation of two types of alls i.e, odontoblasts & ameloblasts, that help create teeth. The teeth of mammals develop during embryonic growth, though they erupt only after birth. Javed, a professor in the UAB; used a mouse model with mutations in both copies of the gene for Sp7. In humans, mutations the SP7 Imperfecta, a condition that affects the development of bones and causes asteogenesis дене craniofacial structures. However, the role of SP7 in embryonic develop ment was unknown. Mice lacking Sp7, intial tooth morphogenesis was normal, even though the animals lacked mineralized tooth sockets. The animal failed to produce normal enamel, the super hard matrix lager that covers the tooth.
