Dental pulp cells can protect the retina Researchers at the University of Birmingham have discovered that stem cells isolated from the teeth, dental pulp stem cells (DPSC), can protect retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from death following injury and promote regeneration of their axons along the optic nerve. RGC loss is the leading cause of blindness and can arise through traumatic injury or degenerative diseases such as glaucoma.1
