Dental Pulp Stem Cells in Human Disease

Dear Colleagues,

Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have emerged as a promising tool in disease modeling and regenerative medicine. Found within the dental pulp, these stem cells possess the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including neural, bone, cartilage, and endothelial cells. In addition, these remarkable cells produce a wide variety of factors with beneficial results in the context of immunomodulation, inflammation, angiogenesis, etc. These unique characteristics have captured the attention of researchers and clinicians, as DPSCs offer potential therapeutic applications in a wide range of diseases and disorders.

This Special Issue will explore the use of DPSCs in several diseases and their therapeutic potential. We encourage submissions in the form of original research articles and reviews on all aspects related to the topic. Expert articles shedding light on the following topics are highly welcome: DPSC-based disease modeling, regenerative medicine, and other therapeutic approaches.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
