Core Tip

Core Tip: Dental mesenchymal stem cells have been widely used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their multipotential differentiation ability. We herein discuss the multipotency of dental mesenchymal stem cells and some related factors influencing the odontogenic/osteogenic differentiation, which provide guidance for fully utilizing the multipotency of dental mesenchymal stem cells.
