Stem Cell Fate Determination during Development and Regeneration of Ectodermal Organs

Stem Cell Fate Determination during Development and Regeneration of Ectodermal Organs

The development of ectoderm-derived appendages results in a large variety of highly specialized organs such as hair follicles, mammary glands, salivary glands, and teeth. Despite varying in number, shape, and function, all these ectodermal organs develop through continuous and reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, sharing common morphological and molecular features especially during t...

Cell fate determination during tooth development and regeneration.

Teeth arise from sequential and reciprocal interactions between the oral epithelium and the underlying cranial neural crest-derived mesenchyme. Their formation involves a precisely orchestrated series of molecular and morphogenetic events, and gives us the opportunity to discover and understand the nature of the signals that direct cell fates and patterning. For that reason, it is important to ...

molecular interactions of lncrnas: cellular fate determination and tissue regeneration

lncrnas (long non-coding rnas) are responsible to control the degradation process, rna stability, orchestration, inhibition, transcription and histone modification etc. these rnas have been termed as the key agents of several mechanisms such as development, organogenesis and regeneration of damaged tissues etc. they interact with a number of partner molecules either protein, rnas or dnas and co...

Tooth Regeneration with Stem Cell Sources

Introduction: During the last decade, advances in tissue engineering and stem cell-based tooth regeneration have provided realistic and attractive means of replacing lost or damaged teeth. The first adult stem cells isolated from dental tissues were dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). When transplanted with hydroxyl apatite/tri calcium phosphate (HA/TCP) powder, they formed a dentin-like structure...
