Embryonic Stem Cells Can Generate Oral Epithelia under Matrix Instruction
Das, Ridhima; Harper, Lisa; Kitajima, Kayoko; Osman, Tarig Al-Hadi; Cimpan, Mihaela-Roxana; Johannessen, Anne Christine; Suliman, Salwa; Mackenzie, Ian C.; Costea, Daniela Elena (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We aimed to investigate whether molecular clues from the extracellular matrix (ECM) can induce oral epithelial differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) of the feeder-independent cell line ... -
Isolation and characterization of cells derived from human epithelial rests of Malassez
Kitajima, Kayoko; Das, Ridhima; Liang, Xiao; Neppelberg, Evelyn; Johannessen, Anne Christine; Costea, Daniela Elena; Igarashi, Masaru (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The epithelial rests of Malassez (ERMs) might represent a valuable source of oral epithelial cells with stem cell properties. The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize cells derived from human ERM, and ...
