演  題: Tooth Tissue Engineering
概  要:

I am working to perfect conditions to generate fully functional, bioengineered teeth, in collaboration with Dr. Joseph Vacanti of the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. To date, we have succeeded in generating bioengineered teeth exhibiting odontoblasts, dentin, ameloblasts, enamel, pulp and cementum, using both pig and rat tooth bud cells. Our ability to used cultured tooth bud cells for tooth tissue engineering demonstrates that dental progenitor and/or dental stem cells (DSCs) can be maintained in culture. Current efforts focus on the characterization of epithelial and mesenchymal dental stem cells, and the generation of full sized bioengineered replacement teeth of predetermined size and shape. The goal of these studies is the identification and characterization of autologous adult tissues suitable for human tooth tissue engineering applications.
