Dental pulp stem cells for treating neurodegenerative diseases
Neural Regeneration Research, 2015 The hippocampal formation, important for spatial learning and memory function, exhibits high level of plasticity in response to behavioral changes as well as injury. Dysfunction of the hippocampus is one of the hallmark features of neurodegenerative diseases like temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Dhanushkodi and Shetty 2008 ...

Pulp Stones as a Warning Sign for Coronary Artery Disease- A Narrative Review [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023 Globally, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) has been the main factor in both morbidity and mortality. However, Pulp Stones (PS) that span the entire dentition are uncommon and require additional analysis to determine the likelihood of other related ...

Creating a Microenvironment to Give Wings to Dental Pulp Regeneration—Bioactive Scaffolds
Pharmaceutics, 2023 Dental pulp and periapical diseases make patients suffer from acute pain and economic loss. Although root canal therapies, as demonstrated through evidence-based medicine, can relieve symptoms and are commonly employed by dentists, it is still difficult ...

Dental pulp stem cells as a promising model to study imprinting diseases
International Journal of Oral Science, 2022 Parental imprinting is an epigenetic process leading to monoallelic expression of certain genes depending on their parental origin. Imprinting diseases are characterized by growth and metabolic issues starting from birth to adulthood. They are mainly due

Therapeutic potential of dental pulp stem cell transplantation in a rat model of Alzheimer’s disease
Neural Regeneration Research, 2021 Dental pulp stem cells are dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells that originate from the neural crest. They exhibit greater potential for the treatment of nervous system diseases than other types of stem cells because of their neurogenic ...

The effects of ageing on dental pulp stem cells, the tooth longevity elixir [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2019 Stem cells are essential for tissue homeostasis and regeneration throughout the lifespan of multicellular rganisms. The decline in stem cell function during advanced age is associated with a reduced regenerative potential of tissues that leads to an ...
