Dental Stem Cells: Regenerative Potential

  • Covers an exciting area of research - the potential use of stem cells in tissue regeneration
  • Fills a gap in the literature; there are very few books on dental stem cells and tooth and bone regeneration
  • Written broadly to appeal to a wide audience of basic science and clinical researchers in cellular and regenerative medicine and biomedical researchers interested in bio- and tissue- engineering
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Part of the book series: Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (STEMCELL)

About this book

This book focuses on the basic aspects of dental stem cells (DSCs) as well as their clinical applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It opens with a discussion of classification, protocols, and properties of DSCs and proceeds to explore DSCs within the contexts of cryopreservation; epigenetics; pulp, periodontal, tooth, bone, and corneal stroma regeneration; neuronal properties, mesenchymal stem cells and biomaterials; and as sources of hepatocytes for liver disease treatment. The fifteen expertly authored chapters comprehensively examine possible applications of DSCs and provide invaluable insights into mechanisms of growth and differentiation.

Dental Stem Cells: Regenerative Potential draws from a wealth of international perspectives and is an essential addition to the developing literature on dental stem cells. This installment of Springer’s Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine series is indispensable for biomedical researchers interestedin bioengineering, dentistry, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, cell biology and oncology.
