Abstract
Background:Understanding of the self-renewal and differentiation of dental epithelial stem cells (DESCs) is important for tooth regeneration therapies. Results:Depletion of FGF signaling suppressed self-renewal and led to differentiation of DESCs. Conclusion:FGF signaling is essential for maintenance of DESCs. Significance:The finding sheds new light on the mechanism by which the homeostasis, expansion, and differentiation of DESCs are regulated.
