Abstract
Dental stem cells, with their exceptional proliferative capacity and multidirectional differentiation potential, hold significant promise for dental and oral tissue regeneration. Epigenetic inheritance, which involves stable and heritable changes in gene expression and function without alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a critical role in numerous biological processes. Environmental factors are particularly influential in epigenetic inheritance, as variations in exposure can lead to changes in epigenetic modifications that subsequently impact gene expression. Epigenetic mechanisms are widely involved in processes such as bone homeostasis, embryogenesis, stem cell fate determination, and disease development. Recently, the epigenetic regulation of dental stem cells has attracted considerable research attention. This paper reviews studies focused on the epigenetic mechanisms governing the multidirectional differentiation of dental stem cells.
期刊介绍：
Epigenetics & Chromatin is a peer-reviewed, open access, online journal that publishes research, and reviews, providing novel insights into epigenetic inheritance and chromatin-based interactions. The journal aims to understand how gene and chromosomal elements are regulated and their activities maintained during processes such as cell division, differentiation and environmental alteration.
