Teeth have fat? Human teeth too? That’s new to me lol
I forgot to mention that the odontoblasts can actually accumulate lipofuscin! The current theory by the mainstream is that aged, post-mitotic cells accumulate lipofuscin, but I think it is actually the reverse that lipofuscin causes cells to become post-mitotic, and there is evidence for this. Anyway, odontoblasts are important for dentin renewal.
