Dental pulp stem cells regenerate neural tissue in degenerative disorders and stroke rehabilitation: A scope systematic review

I still prefer handing your competent? doctor a pee cup and asking for stem cells in return.  It has only been 11+ years, where the fuck is your doctor's protocol on turning urine into stem cells?

Turning urine into brain cells could help fight Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s

Abstract

Background

Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) possess a remarkable ability for tissue differentiation, making them highly efficient in tissue regeneration and inflammation regulation. This systematic study proposes to find an answer to the question, "Do DPSCs have the ability to regenerate and rehabilitate nerve tissue?"

Methods

This systematic review was conducted based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria, and the principle of non-bias was respected. All the articles from 2014-2024 were extracted from the Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases. This study extracted the antigens and pro-inflammatory factors associated with DPSCs' involvement and how they affect the CNS's neural tissue regeneration.

Results

Two persons of researchers searched the database. After screening the full texts, they included 11 articles in their study. DPSCs control the following antigens: CD73, CD34, CD90, CD105, CD14, CD45, CD19Oct-4, CD73, CD31, CD34CD29CD44. Even though hematopoietic markers did not change much, OCT-4 and CD-73 were increased by DPSCs. DPSC-derived exosomes suppressed the expression of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and TGF, key mediators of nerve tissue inflammation. Additionally, DPSCs show high Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) expression in mice brain tissue cultures. DPSCs reduce Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH), a condition in which blood collects in the subarachnoid space and causes ischemia.

Discussion

DPSCs showed the ability to regenerate nerve tissue and brain ganglia, stimulating angiogenesis by expressing cell markers and controlling growth factors in mice, and high therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative disorders. The present study invites further research in neurological disorders, specifically strokes, to prescribe these stem cells to the human population.
