Objective: The study aims to evaluate the effect of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) co-stimulation on odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs).
Materials And Methods: The viability/proliferation of hDPSCs treated with BMP-2 (group B), TGF-β1 (group T), or BMP-2/TGF-β1 (group BT) were evaluated. The experiments on odontogenic differentiation were done for 14 days. The following subgroups were added to investigate the effect of co-stimulation with different timing: subgroup B1, TGF-β1 co-stimulation in the first week; subgroup B2, TGF-β1 co-stimulation in the second week; subgroup T1, BMP-2 co-stimulation in the first week; and subgroup T2, BMP-2 co-stimulation in the second week. The mineralization was assessed using alizarin red staining. The expression of following genes was assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction: dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP1), osteopontin (OPN), and alkaline phosphatase.
Results: All groups showed viability similar to the control group (P > .05). The greater mineralization was detected in B groups on day 14. The expressions of DSPP, DMP-1, and OPN increased on day 14 (P < .05). In the combination groups, the higher expressions of DSPP and DMP-1 were observed in subgroups B1 and B2 than groups B and T (P < .05).
Conclusions: BMP-2 was the key in odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs, which was further enhanced by co-stimulation with TGF-β1. Continuous stimulation with TGFβ-1 did not improve the differentiation of hDPSCs.
Clinical Relevance: Combined use of the BMP-2 and TGFβ-1 at the specific sequence can provide a tissue engineering approach for the future guided dentin regeneration.

Introduction: Establishing an optimized regenerative microenvironment for pulp-dentin complex engineering has become increasingly critical. Recently, exosomes have emerged as favorable biomimetic nanotherapeutic tools to simulate the developmental microenvironment and facilitate tissue regeneration.
Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the multifaceted roles of exosomes from human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) that initiated odontogenic differentiation while sustaining mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) characteristics in odontogenesis, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis during pulp-dentin complex regeneration.
Acanthomatous ameloblastoma with mucinous glandular differentiation in a dog.

This report describes an atypical case of canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA) with mucinous glandular differentiation in a 12-year-old male Chihuahua with a right mandibular mass. Initially diagnosed as CAA by biopsy, computed tomography revealed bone lysis, prompting surgical excision. Histological examination showed lobular growth with two distinct neoplastic cell populations: typical CAA-like cells and a minor glandular structure population.

Article Synopsis
- Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare genetic disorder that presents with brittle hair, photosensitivity, scaly skin, and stunted growth, leading to a high mortality rate in children mainly due to infections.
- A case report highlights a five-year-old boy with these symptoms who was diagnosed with TTD after genetic testing during treatment for a dental infection.
- The report emphasizes the need for comprehensive evaluation of pediatric patients to improve diagnosis and care for genetic disorders like TTD, involving a collaborative approach among healthcare providers.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore mitochondrial transfer in dental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and its impact on their ability to differentiate into odontogenic cells.
- Flow cytometry, immunostaining, and advanced imaging techniques were utilized to analyze the presence and significance of mitochondrial transfer in these cells, revealing its role in promoting odontogenic differentiation.
- The research found evidence of mitochondrial transfer through structures called tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) and showed that inhibiting this transfer affected key differentiation markers and gene expression related to odontogenesis.

Background: To meet their high energy needs, tumor cells undergo aberrant metabolic reprogramming. A tumor cell may expertly modify its metabolic pathways and the differential expression of the genes for metabolic enzymes. The physiological requirements of the host tissue and the tumor cell of origin mostly dictate metabolic adaptation.
