DENTAL PULP
(DSPC)
Provia currently offers researchers access to mesenchymal stem cells from dental pulp (DPSC) found in human:
-
third molars
-
exfoliated teeth
-
follicular tissue
MSCs from Dental Pulp (DPSC) are a significant source of stem cells that are known to express important transcription factors such as:
-
oct4
-
sox2
-
klf4
-
nanog
-
c-myc – an indicator of their pluripotency.
Flow cytometric analysis shows that these cells are positive for:
-
CD73
-
CD90
-
CD105
Flow cytometric analysis shows that these cells are negative for:
-
CD34 and CD45 – suggesting mesenchymal stem cells.
Under appropriate culture conditions, DPSCs have been shown to differentiate into the following types of cells:
-
osteogenic
-
adipogenic
-
neurogenic cells.
Certain sources of DPSC show considerable proliferative capacity, like those found in Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth (SHED).
