Over the past few decades, life expectancy has been increasing in several countries [...]

Editorial: Tissue regeneration using dental stem cells

“…Dental MSCs (DMSCs) have been found in various dental tissues; moreover, DMSCs have gained growing interest from the scientific community because of their easy accessibility, and thanks to their high strategic plasticity both in dental tissues repair and in regenerating several types of human tissues, including bone, cartilage, muscle, and neural tissue. Despite oral tissues not being the most used niches of MSCs, we should carefully rethink the role of DMSCs in tissue regeneration, as their use may lead to a significant advance of knowledge in regenerative dentistry, impacting on the future treatments of various systemic diseases (Namjoynik et al, 2023;Tatullo et al, 2023).This Research Topic has investigated a wide range of Research Topic, confirming the valuable potentialities of DMSCs in tissue regeneration. Several approaches have been proposed to optimize and enhance the regenerative potential of MSC, such as the use of media conditioned with different growth factors, or cytokines and bioactive molecules (Liu et al, 2022;Ueda et al, 2022).…”
