"Milk Stem Cell Research Library" established at Nagoya University in Japan

, researchers at Nagoya Universityin Japan have announced the establishment of a "milk stem cell research bank"to extract stem cells from the milk teeth,for regenerative medical research, according to media reportsThe milk tooth is also known as theof the milk teeth,refers to thechildrenhave not yet been replacedteeth,childrensix or seven years old, the milk teeth began to gradually fall out, the replacement of permanent teethStudies have shown that stem cells can be extracted from the milk teethCompared with stem cells extracted from bone marrow and cord blood, stem cell proliferation is strong, the extraction method is simple and easier to use in clinical trials, said Shiu Ueda, a professor in the Department of Medicine at Nagoya University who led the studyUeda and others have made progress in animal trials, using stem cells from the pup's breast teeth to successfully develop the jaws of adult dogs Mr Ueda says human milk teeth, which are often thrown away, can be used effectively, and unlike embryonic stem cells, research using them for research avoids ethical problems If research progresses, it will be possible to treat grandparents for fractures caused by osteoporosis in the future with their grandson's breast stem cells
