Scientists at King’s College London (KCL) discovered that keratin -- a protein found in human hair, nails, and wool -- may protect and repair tooth enamel, which may be groundbreaking in the field of ...

The human body is a marvellous thing. But like anything built by evolution, it has plenty of flaws. Consider teeth. Whereas sharks grow new teeth throughout their lives, adult humans get one set, ...

Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from ...

Recent scientific advancements have led to the development of an innovative toothpaste containing proteins derived from human hair. This breakthrough promises not only to rebuild tooth enamel but also ...

Daily eating and drinking expose your teeth to acid stress – and over time, this can affect how your enamel looks and feels.

A new dental treatment using a protein found in hair may help repair damaged tooth enamel. Researchers at King's College London say the key is keratin, which is the protein found in hair. A new dental ...
