Title The development of a bioengineered organ germ method.
Journal Nat Methods
Abstract To bioengineer ectodermal organs such as teeth and whisker follicles, we developed a three-dimensional organ-germ culture method. The bioengineered tooth germ generated a structurally correct tooth, after both in vitro organ culture as well as transplantation under a tooth cavity in vivo, showing penetration of blood vessels and nerve fibers. Our method provides a substantial advance in the development of bioengineered organ replacement strategies and regenerative therapies.
