Tissue regeneration is an emerging concept involving 3-dimensional (3D) tissue reconstruction using stem cells, suitable scaffolds, biomaterials, and the essential bioregulatory signals or growth factors. Tissue regeneration helps understand organ development and functions, the spatio-temporal and physiologic dynamics and is proving instrumental in medical research in tumorigenesis, modeling autoimmune disorders, genetic syndromes, regenerative medicine, translational medicine, and novel drug development. This article summarizes a detailed review on stem cells derived from the oro-dental tissues, biomaterials, and the upcoming concepts in tissue regeneration.
Stem cells Stem cells derived from the fetal cord have been used extensively in medicine. In recent years, stem cells from dental tissues have become popular for their potential to differentiate into various cell lineages. Dental…
