Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We succeeded in inducing mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) phenotypes in somatic cells by culturing them with a specific combination of some chemical compounds under particular conditions. The resultant cells (cdMSCs) showed high levels of MSC’s marker expression, and were capable of differentiating into osteoblasts and adipocytes similarly to primary MSCs. Also, the cdMSCs displayed high migration ability and powerful anti-inflammatory function. These results may contribute to new regenerative dental medicine and give huge impact with regards to both scientific and practical implications.
