Smurf1 regulates ameloblast polarization by ubiquitination-mediated degradation of RhoA.

Cell polarity is essential for ameloblast differentiation and enamel formation. Smurf1 can mediate cell polarization through ubiquitination degradation of specific substrates. But it remains unclear whether Smurf1 could regulate ameloblast polarity and the underlying mechanism.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontosarcoma of the mandible with active epithelial proliferation: A rare case report.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontosarcoma (AFOS) is an extremely rare subtype of odontogenic sarcoma, with no more than 19 cases reported in the English literature to date. AFOS is a biphasic neoplasm, with deposits of dentin and enamel matrix. We herein present a case of AFOS with active epithelial proliferation in a 31-year-old female patient.
