Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are remarkable and noteworthy. Identification of markers for MSCs enables the study of their niche in vivo. It has been identified that glioma-associated oncogene 1 positive (Gli1+) cells are mesenchymal stem cells supporting homeostasis and injury repair, especially in the skeletal system and teeth. This review outlines the role of Gli1+ cells as MSC subpopulation in both bones and teeth, suggesting the prospects of Gli1 an + cells in stem cell- based tissue engineering.

Keywords: Gli1, injury repair, mesenchymal stem cells, neurovascular bundle, suture, teeth.
