Human neural crest-derived postnatal cells exhibit remarkable embryonic attributes either in vitro or in vivo
22 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
During human embryonic development, odontogenic tissues, deriving from the neural crest, remain undifferentiated until the adult age. This study was aimed at characterising the cells of the follicle enveloping the dental germ, due to its direct origin from neural crests. Sixty dental follicles were collected from patients aged 18 to 45 years. This research has clarified that dental follicles, if extracted in a...
