| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Epithelial-mesenchymal interaction plays critical roles for the development of organs such as tooth, lung, salivary gland, kidney and hair. During this process, epithelial thickening and budding into mesenchyme are common phenomenon, while the decision of cell fate is made by the specific transcriptional controls of individual organs. In this study, we analyzed the mechanisms of cell fate conversion using mouse model, which generates ectopic hair in tooth. This mouse model also showed enamel hypoplasia in tooth, indicating that the capability of dental cell fate transition into hair cells.
