methods (Haack-Sorensen et al., 2008; Mannello and Tonti, 2007). Bone marrow derived " N) P2 M2 s; x' ~
stem cells have been identified for a number of years, and there are a number of 6 A8 a1 j& G( ~4 A4 a. Y
ongoing clinical trials exploring the safety and efficacy of their use for a number of

8 p3 E- ?7 \0 ~9 l2009). There has been an increased interest in recent years in the potential of oral-
( l2 p$ k& `0 [1 |derived stem cells for cell therapy, primarily because they can be derived from a readily ~0 J# @$ {7 o
available source, extracted teeth (Gronthos et al., 2000; Miura et al., 2003; Seo et al., ; ~* e- a& t; {6 n$ A" E
2004). These cells exhibit multipotency and regenerative capacities characteristic of

Because oral-derived stem cells have been more recently identified, clinical
+ L! ]+ K1 L/ H i9 qprotocols are still being developed for their use. Regardless of the specific protocol
& E1 k2 @. m+ ]used, most current cell therapy approaches rely upon ex vivo cell expansion in order to

and culturing methods exist, one common aspect to most of them is the inclusion of $ [5 [9 T3 g" Z, e8 Q$ U9 a; ~: I
animal sera for cell expansion, in that it contains a rich source of nutrients and growth

that consistency between different lots cannot be assured (Price and Gregory, 1982). In

inclusion of xenogeneic serum for cell expansion carries immunological risks associated

aimed at incorporating FBS alternatives in cell expansion protocols, including the use of ) A" J, g0 @- m. ~% t
