The Enhancing Effects of Amelogenin Exon 5-Encoded Peptide from Enamel Matrix Derivative on Odontoblast-Like KN-3 Cells

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) is applied for periodontal therapy. We created a synthetic amelogenin peptide (SP) derived from EMD, and have previously investigated the biological function of SP.

Requirement of Smad4-mediated signaling in odontoblast differentiation and dentin matrix formation

open access: yesAnatomy & Cell Biology, 2016
Dentin is the major part of tooth and formed by odontoblasts. Under the influence of the inner enamel epithelium, odontoblasts differentiate from ectomesenchymal cells of the dental papilla and secrete pre-dentin which then undergo mineralization into ...

Melatonin and the Dental Pulp: A Scoping Review

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In general medicine, melatonin is known to enhance wound healing and promote stem cell differentiation. Its potential relevance in endodontics, however, remains underexplored. Objectives This scoping review aimed to systematically assess the available evidence on the effects of melatonin (a) on dental pulp tissue and (b) on human ...

Isolation and in vitro Characterization of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from the Pulp Tissue of Human Third Molar Tooth [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2010
Background: It is still controversial that the stem cells isolatedfrom human dental pulp meets the criteria for mesenchymalstem cells (MSCs). The aim of the present study wasto examine whether or not they are MSCs, or are distinct stemcells population ...

The dental plate on bichir pectoral fins: A unique dermal skeletal element bearing individual odontodes with tooth‐like replacement

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Pectoral fins of bichirs encompass the so‐called dental plates – unique dermal skeletal elements with individual odontodes identical to the oral teeth. Abstract The dermal skeleton appeared early in vertebrate evolution in the form of mineralized skin denticles composed of tooth‐like units—odontodes.

LincRNA-ASAO promotes dental pulp repair through interacting with PTBP1 to increase ALPL alternative splicing

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy
Background Alternative splicing not only expands the genetic encoding of genes but also determines cellular activities. This study aimed to elucidate the regulation mechanism and biological functions of lincRNA-ASAO in the process of odontogenesis ...

Potassium Currents Activated by Depolarization in Odontoblasts

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Increased intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations elicit plasma membrane depolarization, which leads to the activation of K+ currents. However, the precise properties of K+ currents activated by depolarization in odontoblasts remain to be elucidated.

Inflammation Affects the Osteogenic Differentiation of Aged Periodontal Ligament Cells via NF‐κB/FOXO3a/c‐JUN Signalling

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
NF‐κB/FOXO3a/c‐JUN pathway plays a crucial role in osteogenic. Differentiation of aged PDLCs in an inflammatory microenvironment, although the mechanisms of this pathway differ in cellular ageing and pathological inflammation. ABSTRACT Aim This study aims to investigate the effect of inflammation on the senescence phenotype and osteogenic capacity of ...
