Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies the biology of teeth and the bone that surrounds them (dentoalveolar tissue), focusing on mineral-related disorders such as hypophosphatasia, hypophosphatemia, and chronic kidney disease as they affect tooth and jawbone development, healing, and mineralization in mouse models. The work often examines specific proteins involved in bone and dental mineral regulation, including bone sialoprotein, alkaline phosphatase, and osteopontin, and their roles in processes like tooth movement, socket healing, and enamel formation.
