Stem Cells Could Be Used to Grow Back Teeth, Scientists Believe
9th August 2019
Scientists at the University of Plymouth discovered a new group of stem cells which form skeletal tissue and contribute to the making dentin – the hard tissue that surrounds the main body of the tooth. They also showed that a gene called Dlk1 sparks the stem cells into action, so they can mend damage such as decay, crumbling or cracked teeth.
