Exploring the Significance of Schwann Cells in Tooth Germ Development and Pulp Repair

Posted: November 30, 2024
The article delves into the important role of Schwann cells (SCs) in tooth germ development and their potential as a source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for pulp injury repair. Findings show that SC-specific markers are expressed during tooth germ development, and blocking L-type calcium channels enhances SCs odontogenic differentiation. SCs play a vital role in repairing injured dental pulp as a source of MSCs, with Ca1.2 potentially regulating this process.
