Abstract
Advances in the fields of genetics, developmental and stem cell biology, and many other disciplines continue to fuel innovative research findings that form the basis for new diagnostic tests, therapeutic interventions and procedures that improve the quality of life for patients. Scientists are on the threshold of applying knowledge in stem cell biology to regenerative medicine and dentistry, heralding an era when clinicians can consider using biological engineering to replace tissues and organs lost to disease or trauma.
