Histological analysis (H&E staining) of frontal sections of molar teeth from E15 (A-D) and P0 (E-H) mice. At E15, the molars of the Usag-1+/+/Runx2-/- mice (B) were at the bud stage while the molars of all the other mice were at the late cap stage. The Usag-1+/+/Runx2-/- mouse molars each exhibited a distinct lingual bud (B, arrow). At P0, morphological examinations indicated that molar tooth development had arrested in the Usag-1+/+/Runx2-/- mice (F) compared with the other transgenic mouse lines (G & H), which displayed similar molar tooth morphology to the wild-type mice (E).
