The Role of Epigenetic in Dental and Oral Regenerative Medicine by Different Types of Dental Stem Cells: A Comprehensive Overview by Ahmed Hussain, Hamid Tebyaniyan, Danial Khayatan

“…A wide range of host and environmental factors influence stem cell differentiation and differentiation commitment, of which epigenetic regulation is critical. Several lines of evidence have shown that epigenetic modification of DNA and DNA-correlated histones are necessary for determining cells’ phenotypes and regulating stem cells’ pluripotency and renewal capacity. …”
