This study aimed to identify predictors of success rate of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) isolation from human deciduous teeth pulp. A total of 161 deciduous teeth were extracted at the dental clinic of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. The MSCs were isolated from dental pulps using a standard protocol. In total, 128 colonies of MSCs were obtained and the success rate was 79.5%. Compared to teeth not ...

Jackfruit-bronzing disease, caused by Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii, has recently become more common in the jackfruit crop. disease was first discovered Philippines 2014 and spread to Malaysia Mexico 2017. Outbreaks of reduced quality fresh jackfruit, lowered market value local yield losses production financial setbacks processors. This is aggressive toward jackfruits with a sweeter flavor...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) form an enzyme family capable of degrading almost all extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (BM) components. They play an important role in normal tissue remodelling and growth, as well as in many destructive pathological conditions such as inflammation, tumour growth and metastasis. The role of MMPs in the breakdown of pulp tissue of teeth with pulpi...

The purpose of this study was to determine the dietary effects fruit pulps (dried tomato, apple and grape) on performance egg quality characteristics laying hens. In trial, 196 Lohmann sandy layers 25 weeks age were distributed into four groups with seven replicates for 9 weeks. Trial fed following diets, control group basal diet (no additive), 4 % dried tomato pulp, 4% pulp 2.5% grape pulp. Fe...

Instruments for optical fiber measurements, such as the Fiber Quality Analyzer (FQA), are widely used to measure various properties of pulp samples. For the evaluation of market pulps, the pulp properties of interest are fiber length, coarseness, and fines content. Fiber length and coarseness are often used to determine which pulps are suitable for producing particular products. The objectives ...

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which is also known as the scatter factor, is a broad-spectrum and multifunctional cytokine, mediates epithelial-mesenchyme interaction, and is shown to be involved in the development and regeneration of various tissues, including tooth. Here, we report that HGF was present in adult human dental pulps, and its levels increased during acute inflammation of the tis...

BACKGROUND Pulp stones or denticles are frequently found in the dental pulp; there is, however, scarce evidence about this phenomenon. Regardless of the obvious endodontic problem of inhibiting access to the canals and their further treatment, they have not been given great importance. The latest experiences of scientific and practical research, including examinations of dental calcifications a...
