Neural crest cells possess characteristics of stem cells including plasticity and ability to differentiate into various cell types. HNK1 and Sox10 are markers of neural crest cell progenitors that have been demonstrated in osteoblasts during osteogenesis of the maxilla and mandible. We investigated the presence of Sox10 and HNK1 during regeneration of mandibular bone defects. Defects were created in mandibles of rats. Samples of these defects were collected at 7, 14 and 28 days post-surgery; bone regeneration was observed during this period. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed expression of HNK1 and Sox10 in osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteogenic cells, whereas osteoclasts were unstained. HNK1 expression was increased in osteoblasts and osteocytes over time and SOX10 expression was found in osteoblasts and osteogenic cells at 7, 14 and 28 days post-surgery. HNK1 and Sox10 are present in osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteogenic cells during mandible bone regeneration.

Background: Corneal transplantation is the most effective clinical treatment for irreversible corneal endothelial decompensation. However, while visual rehabilitation can be achieved by corneal transplantation, transplant rejection, poor postoperative visual acuity, and lack of suitable donor tissue are currently the greatest obstacles to corneal transplantation. As a result, endothelial cell-based therapy has emerged as an alternative to corneal transplantation treatment.

Animal studies have indicated that SOX10 is one of the key transcription factors regulating the proliferation, migration and differentiation of multipotent neural crest (NC), and mutation of SOX10 in humans may lead to type 4 Waardenburg syndrome (WS). However, the exact role of SOX10 in human NC development and the underlying molecular mechanisms of SOX10-related human diseases remain poorly understood due to the lack of appropriate human model systems. In this study, we successfully generated SOX10-knockout human induced pluripotent stem cells (SOX10 hiPSCs) by the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool.

Neural crest cells (NCCs) are a promising source for cell therapy and regenerative medicine owing to their multipotency, self-renewability, and capability to secrete various trophic factors. However, isolating NCCs from adult organs is challenging, because NCCs are broadly distributed throughout the body. Hence, we attempted to directly induce NCCs from human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs), which can be isolated easily, using small molecule cocktails.

Purpose: Periodontal ligament (PDL) cell cultures are classically maintained in serum-containing media. However, unwanted side-effects of these conditions on cellular and molecular characteristics demand a serum-free alternative. Even though these limitations are well known and efforts for the development of adequate serum-free alternatives have been made, these approaches for replacement remained unsuccessful so far.
