Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and Characterization of a Population of Immature Dental Pulp Stem Cells Expressing OCT-4 and Other Embryonic Stem Cell Markers
Irina Kerkis,Alexandre Kerkis,D. Dozortsev,Gaëlle Chopin Stukart-Parsons,Silvia Maria Gomes Massironi,Lygia da Veiga Pereira,Arnold I. Caplan,Humberto F. Cerruti +7 more
TL;DR: In vivo transplantation of immature dental pulp stem cells into immunocompromised mice, they showed dense engraftment in various tissues and the relative ease of recovery and the expression profiles of various markers justify further exploration of IDPSC for clinical therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corneal reconstruction with tissue-engineered cell sheets composed of human immature dental pulp stem cells.

TL;DR: Corneal transparency of the rabbit eyes that underwent hIDPSC transplantation was improved throughout the follow-up, while the control corneas developed total conjunctivalization and opacification, and transplantation of a tissue-engineered h IDPSC sheet was successful for the reconstruction of corneal epithelium in an animal model of LSCD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstruction of large cranial defects in nonimmunosuppressed experimental design with human dental pulp stem cells.
André de Mendonça Costa,Daniela Franco Bueno,Marília Trierveiler Martins,Irina Kerkis,Alexandre Kerkis,Roberto D. Fanganiello,Humberto F. Cerruti,Nivaldo Alonso,Maria Rita Passos-Bueno +8 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that hDPSC is an additional cell resource for correcting large cranial defects in rats and constitutes a promising model for reconstruction of human large cranIAL defects in craniofacial surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early transplantation of human immature dental pulp stem cells from baby teeth to golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD) dogs: Local or systemic?
Irina Kerkis,Carlos Eduardo Ambrósio,Alexandre Kerkis,Daniele dos Santos Martins,Eder Zucconi,S. A. S. Fonseca,Rosa Maria Cabral,Carlos Magno da Costa Maranduba,Thaís Peixoto Gaiad,Adriana Caroprezo Morini,Natássia M. Vieira,M. P Brolio,Osvaldo A. Sant'Anna,Maria Angélica Miglino,Mayana Zatz +14 more
TL;DR: It was shown that hIDPSC presented significant engraftment in GRMD dog muscles, although human dystrophin expression was modest and limited to several muscle fibers, which suggested that systemic multiple deliveries seemed more effective than local injections.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro differentiation of male mouse embryonic stem cells into both presumptive sperm cells and oocytes.
Alexandre Kerkis,S. A. S. Fonseca,R. C. Serafim,Thais M.C. Lavagnolli,S. Abdelmassih,Roger Abdelmassih,Irina Kerkis +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that ES cells with XY chromosomes can produce under the same experimental conditions both types of presumptive gametes, and this production depends on their positional and temporal information within the EB context.
