Dental Epithelial Histomorphogenesis in vitro.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent developments in tooth-tissue engineering require that we understand the regulatory processes to be preserved to achieve histomorphogenesis and cell differentiation, especially for enamel tissue engineering. Using mouse first lower molars, our objectives were: (1) to determine whether the cap-stage dental mesenchyme can control dental epithelial histogenesis, (2) to test the role of the primary enamel knot (PEK) in specifying the potentialities of the dental mesenchyme, and (3) to evaluate the importance of positional information in epithelial cells. After tissue dissociation, the dental epithelium was further dissociated into individual cells, re-associated with dental mesenchyme, and cultured. Epithelial cells showed a high plasticity: Despite a complete loss of positional information, they rapidly underwent typical dental epithelial histogenesis. This was stimulated by the mesenchyme. Experiments performed at E13 demonstrated that the initial potentialities of the mesenchyme are not specified by the PEK. Positional information of dental epithelial cells does not require the memorization of their history.

Aggressive calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor masquerading as maxillary sinus tumor: a case report.
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare odontogenic neoplasm. Its occurrence in the maxillary sinus is very rare. Maxillary tumors tend to be locally aggressive and may rapidly involve the surrounding vital structures. We report a case of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor involving maxillary sinus in a 48 years old female patient with the oral mucosal involvement. The purpose o...

Background: In apoptosis is physiological cell death which eliminates injured and old cells. Any disruption in apoptosis, leads to disease. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol with estrogen-like, antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties; also it showed cell prolifratory and inhibitory effect. The aim of present study was to determine resveratrol effect on apoptosis of human endometrial epith...
