Exploring the Differentiation Abilities of Hair Follicle and Dental Pulp Stem Cells Into Islet Like Cells.

This study aimed to compare the differentiation potential of dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DP-MSCs) and hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HF-MSCs), which originated from the ectoderm. Dental pulps were separated from the extracted wisdom teeth during dental surgery, and Hair follicles were extracted from the scalp of patients undergoing hair transplantation. We cultivated the cell in cell culture media, supplemented with additional nutrients.
