Patent ID: 7955850

Claim:
A homogenous stem cell population able to differentiate, without addition of specific factors, into osteogenic progenitors that express RUNX 2, from which subsequently osteoblasts derive that express HLA 1, CD44, RUNX 2, CD54 and osteocalcin, said homogeneous stem cell population being able to produce bone in vitro, and wherein said homogenous stem cell population is obtained by isolation from either human pulp of deciduous teeth (MBP-SHED Mesenchymal Bone Producing cells derived from Stem cell from Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth), or from permanent teeth or dental germs (MBP-DPSC Mesenchymal Bone Producing cells derived from Dental Pulp Stem Cells) and by FAC sorting using c-kit, STRO-1 and CD34 markers.
