Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells01:23

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells

2.1K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.
However, failure of such a system...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells01:19

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

5.6K
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can differentiate into most connective tissue cell types, except for hematopoietic cells, depending upon the source of MSCs. For example, bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteocytes, hepatocytes, and pancreatic and neuronal cells. MSCs can be isolated from various sources such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, teeth, and Wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord. The ease of their...

Plant Cells and Tissues

65.6K
Plant tissues are collections of similar cells performing related functions. Different plant tissues will have their own specialized roles and can be combined with other tissues to form organs such as flowers, fruit, stem, and leaves. Two major types of plant tissue include meristematic and permanent tissue.

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration01:21

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration

4.7K
Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.

Tissues

Cells with similar structure and function are grouped into tissues. A group of tissues with a specialized function is called an organ. There are four main types of tissue in vertebrates: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.

Bone Cells and Tissue01:30

Bone Cells and Tissue

8.3K
Bones contain a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of organic and inorganic components. Although bone cells compose only a small amount of the bone volume, they are crucial to its function. Four types of cells are found within the bone tissue— osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteogenic cells, and osteoclasts.
Osteoblasts and Osteocytes
The osteoblast is the bone cell responsible for forming new bone tissue. It is found in the growing portions of bone, including the...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Stem Cell Biology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from dental tissues are increasingly popular for regenerative medicine.
  • Dental stem cells originate from the neural crest, enabling regeneration of ectodermal and mesenchymal tissues.
  • Their properties include high proliferation, self-renewal, plasticity, and immunomodulatory capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive compilation of morphofunctional analyses and tissue-engineering applications of dental MSCs.
  • To address the current lack of exhaustive comparative profiles for dental tissues and their regenerative uses.
  • To explore the potential of dental stem cells in both autologous and allogenic tissue-engineering.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of morphofunctional analyses of MSCs from various dental sources.
  • Review of tissue-engineering applications for dental stem cells.
  • Analysis of immunoregulatory properties and potential therapeutic strategies.

Main Results:

  • Dental stem cells exhibit multipotential capabilities and immunomodulatory properties.
  • Sources include tooth germ, exfoliated deciduous teeth, periodontal ligament, gingiva, dental pulp, alveolar bone, dental follicle, and apical papilla.
  • In vitro and animal studies demonstrate significant promise for regenerative medicine.

Conclusions:

  • Dental stem cells are highly suitable candidates for diverse therapeutic strategies in regenerative medicine.
  • Further research and clinical trials are needed to understand underlying mechanisms and ensure safety.
  • Systematic monitoring of in vitro transformations and graft-versus-host responses is crucial for clinical translation.
