Abstract

Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) are relatively easy to isolate from exfoliated deciduous teeth, which are obtained via dental therapy as biological waste. SHEDs originate from the embryonic neural crest, and therefore, have considerable potential for neurogenic differentiation. Currently, an increasing amount of research is focused on the therapeutic applications of SHEDs in neurological diseases and injuries. In this article, we summarize the biological characteristics of SHEDs and the potential role of SHEDs and their derivatives, including conditioned medium from SHEDs and the exosomes they secrete, in the prevention and treatment of neurological diseases and injuries.

Keywords: Human exfoliated deciduous teeth, stem cells, conditioned medium, exosomes, neurological diseases and injuries, therapy.
