Craniofacial tissue engineering by stem cells.
Craniofacial tissue engineering promises the regeneration or de novo formation of dental, oral, and craniofacial structures lost to congenital anomalies, trauma, and diseases. Virtually all craniofacial structures are derivatives of mesenchymal cells. Mesenchymal stem cells are the offspring of mesenchymal cells following asymmetrical division, and reside in various craniofacial structures in t...
متن کاملEditorial: potential application of mesenchymal stem cells in craniofacial reconstruction.
Numerous studies have been reported about the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into almost every cell type found in craniofacial tissues, such as bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, muscle etc. Using MSCs as a cell source to engineer craniofacial tissue is becoming feasible. Some effects have been made to bridge the fundamental science and clinical application. Meanwhile, novel f...
متن کاملComputer-aided Craniofacial Reconstruction
This paper presents a novel craniofacial reconstruction algorithm based on moving least squares deformation. The 3D skull mesh model is obtained with Marching Cube Algorithm, which extract the iso-surface from a complete head CT slice datum. The holes detected in the 3D skull model can be repaired with different methods after the holes are clarifed . Then, the craniofacial is reconstructed usin...
متن کاملBiomaterials for craniofacial reconstruction
Biomaterials for reconstruction of bony defects of the skull comprise of osteosynthetic materials applied after osteotomies or traumatic fractures and materials to fill bony defects which result from malformations, traumata or tumor resections. Other applications concern functional augmentations for dental implants or asthetic augmentations in the region of the face. For ostheosynthesis, mini- ...
متن کاملRole of Stem Cells in Cardiac Cell Therapy and Tissue Engineering
Background: In spite of promising results of conventional treatments for myocardial infarction, including medications, stent implantation, and coronary artery bypass grafting, the disease and its complications, especially heart failure, are highly prevalent because these methods could not reverse the cell loss, which is the main problem. Currently, heart transplantation, as the last option f...
