The micronucleus test (MNT) was applied in the epithelial cells from the bladder of mice treated with benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) and cyclophosphamide (CP). Micronuclei (MN) were scored at different time on Feulgen and fast green stained smear preparations of exfoliated cells. These cells were obtained by scraping the internal surface of the bladder. The tested compounds gave the maximal response at 7-10 days after treatment. The number of MN in epithelial cells was dose dependent. These results suggest that exfoliated bladder cells from mice can be used as indicators for genotoxic damage in proliferating cell populations.

Background: Oral cancer screening programs can aid in the early identification of potentially malignant oral lesions. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Oral Rub and Rinse (ORR) technique as an oral cancer screening tool and to test its potential in detecting genetic alterations in exfoliated cells obtained through ORR.
Methods: The screening programs were conducted in rural Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts in Karnataka.

Background: Tissue engineering for bone regeneration aims to heal severe bone injuries. This study aimed to prepare and assess the early osteogenic differentiation effects of a gelatin/calcium phosphate- Punica granatum nanocomposite scaffold on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous (SHED) and human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSCs).
Methods: The electrospinning method was used to prepare a gelatin/calcium phosphate nanocomposite scaffold containing pomegranate (Punica granatum) extract.

Background: Achieving a stable vasculature is crucial for tissue regeneration. Endothelial cells initiate vascular morphogenesis, followed by mural cells that stabilize new vessels. This study investigated the in vivo effects of Sema4D-Plexin-B1 signaling on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED)-supported angiogenesis, focusing on its mechanism in PDGF-BB secretion.

Hair graying is one of the common visible signs of human aging, resulting from decreased or abolished melanogenesis due to the depletion of melanocyte stem cells through excess accumulation of oxidative stress. Cell-free therapy using a conditioned medium (CM) of mesenchymal stem cells has been highlighted in the field of regenerative medicine owing to its potent therapeutic effects with lower regulatory hurdles and safety risk. Recently, we demonstrated that a CM of an immortalized stem cell line from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) has protective effects against a mouse model of ulcer formation via antioxidative and angiogenic activities mediated by HGF and VEGF.
