p16/p53 expression and telomerase activity in immortalized human dental pulp cells
15 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Residing within human dental pulp are cells of an ectomesenchymal origin which have the potential to differentiate into odontoblast-like cells. These cells have a limited growth potential owing to the effects of cell senescence. This study examines the effects of immortalizing odontoblast-like cells on cell proliferation and mineralization by comparing transformed dental pulp stem cells (tDPSCs) and...
