Speaker: Michael L. Paine, B.Sc., B.D.S., Ph.D.
Professor, USC Associates Professor of Dentistry, Director of the Graduate Program in Craniofacial Biology, Co-Director of the Masters of Science in Clinical and Biomedical Investigations Division of Biomedical Sciences Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology, Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, University of Southern California

Abstract: Fully matured dental enamel is an architecturally and mechanically complex hydroxyapatite-based bioceramic devoid of the majority of organic material that was essential in its making. Enamel formation is a staged process largely involving secretory and maturation stages with major changes in gene expression and function between both stages. Cellular activities that define the maturation stage of amelogenesis include ion (e.g. calcium and phosphate) transport and storage, control of intracellular and extracellular pH (e.g. bicarbonate and hydrogen ion movements), and endocytotsis. Recent studies have identified a growing array of gene products that are primarily responsible for many of these cellular events. This review describes the main cellular activities and the newly identified genes associated with maturation stage of amelogenesis. In addition, we briefly discuss the associations between dental diseases related to gene mutations affecting non-dental tissues and organs such cystic fibrosis and others.

Science and Sushi with RIKEN
|
| Description: |
This event includes a series of talks by prominent RIKEN neuroscientists followed by a reception with sushi and sake. The group from the RIKEN Brain Science Institute invites Boston-area neuroscientists to explore career opportunities at RIKEN at the undergraduate, postdoctoral, and especially the faculty level.
