Scientist has found out recently that dental pulp taken from the wisdom teeth can become a source of therapeutic stem cells. This finding was informed to the public by Japanese researchers. This newly discovered cell is called mesenchymal stem cells. It is capable of developing body tissues such as bone, cartilage and fat.
Dental pulp stem cells are highly promising as precursors of replacement neurons (brain cells) because they are easily accessible, can be taken from the patient needing treatment, and they have similar properties to cranial neural crest cells that normally make brain cells and other cranial tissues.
