Neural crest stem cell property of apical pulp cells derived from human developing tooth

Abstract excerpt

Recent reports have described that NCSCs (neural crest-derived stem cells) are not only present in the embryonic neural crest but also in the adult tissues. Dental pulp is one of mesenchymal soft tissues origin from cranial neural crest cells, and thought to be a source of adult stem cells. Here, we investigated the existence of NCSC-like cells in apical pulp of human developing tooth. Human impacted third molars...
