Animal tests are not always reliable for accurately identifying human teratogens, as evidenced by the infamous thalidomide case. Therefore, there is an urgent need for rapid, dependable, and cost-effective human in vitro assays for potential teratogenic drugs. Here, we utilized human embryoid body (hEB)-based assays, both serum-free and supplemented with pregnant woman serum, along with RNA-sequencing analyses, to demonstrate the effectiveness of hEB transcriptomics as a powerful tool for identifying potential teratogenic drugs, in comparison with other cell systems. Additionally, we subjected our hEB systems to C<sub>max</sub> doses of four nucleoside/nucleotide analogs (adefovir dipivoxil [ADV], entecavir [ETV], lamivudine [LAM], and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF]), which are used for anti-hepatitis B virus treatment and belong to different pregnancy-related risk categories. Transcriptomics after drug treatments were determined and analyzed for important changes in genes, gene categories, signaling pathways, and cell lineages. TDF and ADV appear to be safer options during the very early stages of embryonic development compared with LAM and ETV.

Although conventional root canal treatment preserves the tooth's structure by removing infected pulp, it can increase tooth brittleness and impede root development in immature permanent teeth. Harnessing DPSCs' multipotency for pulp regeneration promises to restore the natural pulp-dentin complex in situ. Importantly, DPSCs encounter an inflammatory microenvironment composed of pathogen-associated molecular patterns, a spectrum of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, diverse immune cell phenotypes, and altered matrix signals.

In vitro Transwell assays demonstrated that amelogenin significantly enhanced BMMSC migration, with effects comparable with Wnt3a, a canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway activator. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed pronounced nuclear translocation of β-catenin in BMMSCs following a 24-h amelogenin treatment. Notably, these effects were abolished by a Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor, confirming the pathway's involvement. In GFP-labeled bone marrow-transplanted mice, amelogenin treatment significantly increased GFP<sup>+</sup> cell recruitment to the bone defect site, mirroring the effects of Wnt3a. Micro-CT and histological (H&E) analyses further demonstrated that both amelogenin and Wnt3a accelerated bone regeneration compared with untreated controls.
