Deskripsi

Mouse incisor growth depends upon mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and transit amplifying cells (TACs). Here the authors describe a distinct population of MSCs that is maintained by TACs through Dlk1 ligand and that contribute to MTACs and mesenchymal lineages including dental pulp and odontoblasts.
