Blood Vessels Cells Help with Tooth Regeneration as Stem Cells, Study Shows

A new and very interesting study relating to stem cells has been recently published in the journal called Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A team of researchers from King’s College in London have found that cells that reside on the surface of blood vessels actually have the same function as the stem cells.

Broke a Tooth? Grow Another: Regenerative Power of Dental Stem Cells and Tissues

Studies Show Regenerative Power of Dental Stem Cells and Tissues. Team found that they can reprogram dental stem cells into human embryonic-like cells called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which may be an unlimited source of cells for tissue regeneration.

New Painless Treatment For Receding Gums

Tufts dental researchers conducted a three-year follow-up study that examined the stability of a treatment option for receding gums and found that complete root coverage — the goal of the surgery — had been maintained. This specific tissue regeneration application, developed at Tufts, reduces the considerable pain and recovery time of gum grafting surgery.
