What they found in the two types – dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) and periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSC) – was unexpected, key differences that provide a new plan of attack for regenerative tissue research. “Dental pulp and periodontal ligament stem cells both have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body,. . . .” MORE
