Researchers from Columbia University Medical Center received a $2.5 million grant from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering to use stem cells to engineer soft tissue, developing a process that should ultimately allow scientists to use a patient's own stem cells to develop tissue for facial reconstruction following disfiguring injuries from war, cancer surgery or accidents.

Dental enamel is the hardest tissue produced by the body. It cannot regenerate itself, because it is formed by a layer of cells that is lost by the time the tooth appears in the mouth. The enamel spends the remainder of its lifetime vulnerable to wear, damage, and decay.

Professor Paul Sharpe, who is the director of the craniofacial department at the Dental Institue in King's College London
says researchers can grow fully formed adult teeth in mice. The technique, similar to those used by Forsyth Institute researchers,
uses the subjects own dental stem cells. The stem cells are then combined with embryonic epithelium, and are
placed into the kidneys of the mice, which provide a good supply of blood and oxygen for the tooth to develop.
The tooth is then removed from the kidney and is transplanted into the mouth. The tooth, which is still small,
then grows into a normal tooth attaching to the underlying bone.

Researchers at The Forsyth Institute have successfully used tissue engineering techniques to regenerate mammalian tooth crowns containing dentin and enamel—a feat that could, one day, lead to a biological tooth substitute to replace lost or missing human teeth. The research also suggests the existence of dental stem cells—which could be key to bioengineering human teeth.
