Core Tip

Core Tip: The need for new alternative therapeutic strategies is of paramount importance to improve the cure rate and quality of patients’ lives. Human dental pulp stem/stromal cells and human exfoliated deciduous teeth are promising candidates for regenerative medicine and dentistry as they have been used clinically to treat acute ischemic stroke, erectile dysfunction, traumatized teeth with necrotic pulps, and intrabony defects.
