Cell therapy has tremendous potential in regenerative medicine, yet, there are concerns in " N- A. g% [" F0 e5 e9 \
the utility of cell therapy due to questions regarding different cell harvest and cultivation
# V; [) D3 D8 F) w: Smethods (Haack-Sorensen et al., 2008; Mannello and Tonti, 2007). Bone marrow derived
9 D/ _4 x* F# P+ U) ?" ^) ^- Gstem cells have been identified for a number of years, and there are a number of
1 j2 L9 b; u/ X pongoing clinical trials exploring the safety and efficacy of their use for a number of
4 O3 S! U. p M& \0 }7 mclinical applications (Battiwalla and Hematti, 2009; Sadan et al., 2009; Satija et al., . }4 J4 g1 _, o# W- X, n, F
2009). There has been an increased interest in recent years in the potential of oral-
3 Q+ D9 Q" z8 q' Mderived stem cells for cell therapy, primarily because they can be derived from a readily
1 b/ Z+ e$ s2 f( \ gavailable source, extracted teeth (Gronthos et al., 2000; Miura et al., 2003; Seo et al.,
( S2 ?/ D* T" d2 f2004). These cells exhibit multipotency and regenerative capacities characteristic of
$ j* M" ^" _) ?# M: s* K" Umesenchymal stem cells (Batouli et al., 2003; Shi et al., 2005) and have the capacity to ( L1 `. b: k$ W* R) f$ o/ V; E
repair and regenerate tooth structures in vivo (Krebsbach and Robey, 2002; Mao et al., 2006).
3 T1 U9 A- f& [$ _ Because oral-derived stem cells have been more recently identified, clinical
1 e9 g9 h- e; L) x8 qprotocols are still being developed for their use. Regardless of the specific protocol 4 L! @& H4 r V2 v8 E! l1 N- e4 i4 e9 K
used, most current cell therapy approaches rely upon ex vivo cell expansion in order to , n9 `5 a! F, w5 v5 ?
produce sufficient cell numbers for transplantation. Though a wide variety of protocols

factors (Mannello and Tonti, 2007). Despite the widespread standard use of animal
" H6 t: d5 [* _/ E: D% @sera for in vitro cell culture (Freshney, 2000), there are several problems which exist # F, B! o1 e5 |2 C! i2 s+ b

unknown. Though components of sera have identified, it has also been demonstrated

aimed at incorporating FBS alternatives in cell expansion protocols, including the use of
