Description

For centuries, scientists have known that certain animals can regenerate missing parts of their bodies. Researchers define stem cells as the clonogenic cells with the capability of self renewal and multi-lineage differentiation. A stem cell is capable of propagating and generating additional stem cells.Today stem cells biology is one of the most fascinating areas of science which brings in the hope for healthy regenerated tissue. Some stem cells have more role to play in medicine and dentistry. Replacing dental tissues with either stem cell or gene based therapy may be complicated, stem cells and their role in tissue regeneration provide a strong basis upon which clinician can begin to impact on the clinical management of craniofacial defects.
