Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) are considered a type of mesenchymal stem (MSCs) because their unique origin the neural crest. SHEDs can self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation with ability to differentiate into odontoblasts, osteoblast, chondrocytes, neuronal cells, hepatocytes, adipocytes, etc. They emerging as an ideal source MSCs easy availability extraordinary cell number. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, has many cell-based applications, such bone...
