Defects of the craniofacial skeleton arise as a direct result of trauma, diseases, oncological
resection, or congenital anomalies. Current treatment options are limited, highlighting the …

The craniofacial region comprises the most complex and intricate anatomical structures in
the human body. As a result of developmental defects, traumatic injury, or neoplastic tissue …

Oral diseases, such as dental caries, pulpitis, periodontitis, and craniofacial trauma, are
common. Some individuals suffer from oral cancer or congenital craniofacial defects. The …

Craniofacial surgery, since its inauguration, has been the culmination of collaborative efforts
to solve complex congenital, dysplastic, oncological, and traumatic cranial bone defects …

The osteoprogenitor cells represent the cornerstone of novel craniofacial bone engineering,
this chapter emphasizes that these cells alone are inadequate to achieve bone tissue …

Stem cells play an irreplaceable role in the development, homeostasis, and regeneration of
the craniofacial bone. Multiple populations of tissue‐resident craniofacial skeletal stem cells …

Background Stem cells have been isolated from a variety of embryonic and postnatal (adult)
tissues, including bone marrow. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), which are non–blood …

The study of stem cells has received considerable attention since the discovery that adult
stem cells have the capacity to form many different tissue types. Technical advances have …

Few areas of translational medicine carry as much excitement and hope as stem cell
therapies. Because of recent advances in material science and stem cell and developmental …

Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be obtained from a wide variety of tissues
for bone tissue engineering such as bone marrow, adipose, birth-associated, peripheral …
