Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering: Prospects for Regenerating Tissues in Dental Practice
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
In general, human tissues have a very limited potential to regenerate. However, recent progress in stem cell research and in tissue engineering promises novel prospects for tissue regeneration in dental practice in the future. Stem cells have been discovered in many adult tissues, including teeth, and stem cells from embryos have the potential to form all adult tissues. Embryonic stem cells can now be cultured...
