Core Tip

Core tip: In the present review, the complex mechanisms of interactions between dental-tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and immune cells are considered. Potential implication of MSC-mediated immunomodulation into progression of periodontal disease and dental tissue regeneration is discussed.
