Special Issue Information
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.
