Abstract excerpt
Hematopoiesis in the bone marrow (BM) is maintained by specific interactions between both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic stromal cells, which are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) capable of giving rise to several cell types. The human periodontal ligament (PDL), a tissue of ectomesenchymal origin, has been shown to also be a source of MSCs. We have investigated whether MSCs expanded from the PDL of healthy...
