FAQ

 

What are cells?

Cells make up all the bodies tissue and organs such as heart, liver, brain, and skin. Cells serve both a structural and a functional role in the body, performing a wide range of actions to ensure the body is working in a normal and healthy state.

What are stem cells?

Stem cells can divide and change into particular types of cells, which under controlled conditions can   grow into organs, bones, cartilage and tissue. Developed stem cells can work on repairing the immune system. Stem cells create replacement cells  for those that are lost or damaged by injury or disease.

What are tooth stem cells?

Tooth   stem   cells   are   stem   cells   found   in   the ‘deciduous’ or ‘baby’ teeth of children. Recent studies show that baby teeth stem cells appear  to  have  the  ability  to  develop  into  more types  of  body  tissue  than  other  types  of  stem cells.  This  difference  opens  the  door  to  more therapeutic applications.
