Abstract:Teeth exemplify architectures comprising an interplay
of inorganic
and organic constituents, resulting in sophisticated natural composites.
Rodents (Rodentia) showcase extraordinary adaptations, with their
continuously growing incisors surpassing human teeth in functional
and structural optimizations. In this study, employing state-of-the-art
direct atomic-scale imaging and nanoscale spectroscopies, we present
compelling evidence that the release of material from ameloblasts
and the subsequent formation of iro… Show more
