Recent advances in regenerative medicine and cell-based therapy are bringing promising perspectives for the use of stem cells in clinical trials. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of multilineage differentiation and available in numerous sources in the human body. Dental pulp constitutes an attractive source of these cells since collecting mesenchymal stem cells from this site is a noninvasive procedure which can be done following a common surgical extraction of supernumerary or wisdom teeth. Thus tissue sacrifice is very low and several cytotypes can be obtained owing to these cells' multipotency, in addition to the fact that they can be cryopreserved and stored for long periods. Mesenchymal stem cells have high proliferation rates making them favorable for clinical application. These multipotent cells present in a biological waste constitute an appropriate support in the management of many neurological disorders. After a brief overview on the different types of dental stem cells, this chapter will focus on the characteristics of dental pulp stem cells, their handling and applications in neural tissue engineering, as well as neural induction protocols leading to their potential therapeutic use in the management of neurological diseases.
再生医学和基于细胞的治疗的最新进展为干细胞在临床试验中的应用带来了有前景的视角。干细胞是未分化的细胞,能够多向分化,并且在人体中有多种来源。牙髓是这些细胞的一个有吸引力的来源,因为从这个部位采集间充质干细胞是一种非侵入性的程序,可以在普通的多生牙或智齿拔除后进行。因此,组织牺牲非常低,并且由于这些细胞的多能性,可以获得多种细胞类型,此外,它们可以冷冻保存并长期储存。间充质干细胞具有较高的增殖率,使其有利于临床应用。这些存在于生物废物中的多能细胞是管理许多神经疾病的合适支持。在简要概述了不同类型的牙齿干细胞后,本章将重点介绍牙髓干细胞的特征、它们在神经组织工程中的处理和应用,以及导致其在管理神经疾病方面潜在治疗用途的神经诱导方案。
