| Research Abstract |
It is thought that the tissue stem cells slowly proliferate in the normal condition, resulting that those retain DNA label for longer time than developed cells. We used BrdU to identify the label retaining cells (LRCs) as the tissue stem cells. In the mouse periodontal ligament, BrdU-LRCs distributed around blood vessels and near cementum. The BrdU-LRCs started to proliferate one day after replantation of the molar tooth, showing that the BrdU-LRCs possibly function to regenerate the periodontal tissue. It was also found that the collagen gel culture is useful to expand the BrdU-LRCs.
