Tissue-engineered tooth produced by embryonic tooth germ cells in 3-dimensional scaffold
October 5th, 2006
A tissue-engineered tooth was produced by embryonic tooth germ cells in a 3-dimensional scaffold. According to recent research published in the European Journal of Oral Sciences, "Tissue engineering can now reproduce tooth from postnatal tooth cells. However, crown formation is not accurately reconstituted, even when the complex structure of the enamel dentin is reproduced." "Here, we showed that a tissue-engineered (TE) tooth, exhibiting morphogenesis according to regular crown-cusp pattern formation, was produced by embryonic tooth germ cells in a 3-dimensional scaffold. "Heterogeneous cells dissociated from embryonic day...
