Tissue Engineering Technique Yields Potential Biological Substitute for Dental Implants, Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center Study

ScienceDaily (May 24, 2010) — A technique pioneered in the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory of Dr. Jeremy Mao, the Edward V. Zegarelli Professor of Dental Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, can orchestrate stem cells to migrate to a three-dimensional scaffold infused with growth factor, holding the translational potential to yield an anatomically correct tooth in as soon as nine weeks once implanted.
