Japanese scientists have found that the odorous compound responsible for halitosis – otherwise known as bad breath – is ideal for harvesting stem cells taken from human dental pulp. Japanese ...

They are exploring new ways to replace damaged retinal tissue using cells from an unlikely source: a patient's own dental pulp. "[Dental] pulp cells and retinal cells share a common progenitor in ...

However, in a paper published today in Scientific Reports, scientists from the Dental Institute at King’s College London have proven a way to stimulate the stem cells contained in the pulp of the ...

Searching for an alternative to autologous nerve grafts (autografts), researchers in Japan transplanted mobilized dental pulp stem cells (MDPSCs) into laboratory rats with sciatic nerve defects to ...

New stem cell delivery approach regenerates dental pulp-like tissue in a rodent model Date: December 19, 2016 Source: Tufts University Summary: Delivery of stem cells to damaged tooth roots using ...

Regenerative capacity of the dental pulp is well-known and has been recently attributed to function of dental stem cells. Dental stem cells offer a very promising therapeutic approach to restore ...

When these fail, a root canal is needed to remove the pulp of the tooth and damage it even further. "Existing dental fillings are toxic to cells and are therefore incompatible with pulp tissue ...

Dentin is found between the outer layer of tooth enamel and the inner pulp. “Existing dental fillings are toxic to cells and are therefore incompatible with pulp tissue inside the tooth ...

Stem Cell Populations Within Dental & Periodontal Tissues Dental mesenchymal stem cells have been isolated from the pulp of adult and deciduous teeth, the apical part of dental papilla ...

They're developing a new treatment strategy that could someday help heal a damaged tooth using the patient's own stem cells ... regenerative dental fillings. When dental pulp disease and injury ...
