Adult Reserve Stem Cells & their Potential for Tissue Engineering

Abstract Tissue restoration is the process whereby multiple damaged cell types are replaced to restore the histoarchitecture and function to the tissue. Several theories have been proposed to explain the phenomenon of tissue restoration in amphibians and in animals belonging to higher orders. These theories include dedifferentiation of damaged tissues, transdifferentiation of lineage-committed progenitor cells, and […]

Nonoperative management has focused on treatment of the predisposing factors, the use of analgesics and anti-inflammatory medication usually in association with local anesthetic and steroid injections. Surgical intervention allows debridement of the degenerate […]
