Research Abstract |
It is well known that adult tissue stem cells, which exit in the niche, are involved in the maintenance or restoration of homeostasis in various tissue. In this research, we focused Ccn4 gene and that revealed that Ccn4 gene could be involved in tooth development and wound healing. In future, we will clarify the relationship between Ccn4 gene and maintenance mechanism of niche.
