Research Abstract |
Rodents have continuously growing incisors, which tooth germ might be used as a source for enamel regeneration because of its high differentiation and regeneration abilities. In this study, transcriptome analysis was first performed to evaluate the young and old mice tooth germ’s genomic expression, then Sox2 and Oct4 expressions were evaluated immunohistologically and by RT-PCR. The cells derived from the apex of the incisors of GFP mice were transplanted into the subepithelial tissue ofkidney, and hard tissue formation with tooth structure was observed. The method for efficiently collecting the cell source is now under investigation.
