A New Method of Tooth Repair? Scientists Uncover Mechanisms to Inform Future Treatment
Stem cells hold the key to wound healing, as they develop into specialised cell types throughout the body -- including in teeth.
Now an international team of researchers has found a mechanism that could offer a potential novel solution to tooth repair.
Published today (Friday 9 August) in Nature Communications, the study showed that a gene called Dlk1 enhances stem cell activation and tissue regeneration in tooth healing.
The work was led by Dr Bing Hu from the University of Plymouth's Peninsula Dental School, with collaboration from researchers worldwide.
