Endocrinology in Louisville, KY | Louisville Physicians

Thursday, August 4th, 2016

UofL Physicians-Endocrinology, formerly known as UniversityMedical Associates,provides sophisticated, cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic care for patients with a broad range of hormonal disorders in the Louisville, Southern Indiana and greater Kentucky areas. Our endocrinologists see patients from all over the United States, as far away as New York and Pennsylvania, with complicated endocrine disorders.

We treat endocrine diseases, including those of the pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal gland, testes and ovaries, as well as diabetes, hypoglycemia, dyslipidemia (high cholesterol) and disorders of calcium metabolism including osteoporosis.

UofL Physicians-Endocrinology is dedicated to advancing the care of patients with endocrine disorders and diabetes in the greater Louisville region.

Find an endocrinologist in Louisville by viewing the Our Physicians tab.

Our endocrine program directed by Endocrinology Chief Dr. Stephen J. Winters, treats patients with:

Our diabetes program, under the direction of Dr. Betty C. Villafuerte and Dr. Sathya S. Krishnasamy, provides comprehensive care for patients with:

Symptoms of diabetes include:

Symptoms of hypoglycemia (insulin shock) include:

About 27 million Americans live with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, non-injury lower-limb amputations and new cases of adult blindness in the United States. Hypoglycemia, or insulin shock, occurs when blood sugar is too low, and can be very dangerous. At UofL Physicians-Endocrinology, our goals are to provide outstanding clinical care for patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus; to educate patients, the public and members of the health care profession about diabetes; and to advance understanding of diabetes by conducting high-quality research.

We work closely with primary care providers and with other UofL Physicians who are skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic complications, to create a large, multidisciplinary network to provide optimal care. Our diabetes program includes training in carbohydrate counting, insulin self-management, and insulin pumps. Our physicians and certified diabetes educator (CDE) provide education and support on how to manage diabetes and prevent diabetes complications.

Low HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) are associated with heart disease and stroke. Our practice can help you lower your LDL cholesterol, raise your HDL cholesterol and reduce triglycerides while minimizing adverse side effects.

The pituitary gland is called the master gland because it controls the complex function of most other endocrine glands and is located at the base of the brain. We offer a multidisciplinary approach to treating patients with pituitary and hypothalamic disorders including acromegaly, Cushings syndrome, prolactinoma, chromophobe or non-functioning adenomas and thyroptroph adenomas, and the many conditions that cause hypopituitarism, as well as diabetes insipidus and low sodium (SIADH).

The adrenal glands produce hormones responsible for the maintenance of metabolic processes, salt/ water regulation and the response to stress. These hormones are cortisol, aldosterone and epinephrine. Addisons disease, hypertension with low potassium and pheochromocytoma are among the endocrine disorders of the adrenal glands that we treat.

Our Metabolic Bone Disease Program provides care for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, Pagets disease, renal bone disease, disorders of vitamin D metabolism, male osteoporosis and transplantation-associated bone disease. We offer bone density testing for the diagnosis and follow-up of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. We work closely with our UofL Physicians endocrine surgeons to provide minimally invasive surgical treatment for parathyroid tumors. We also offer bone density testing for the diagnosis and follow-up of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases.

We provide comprehensive medical services for patients with reproductive endocrine problems, including menstrual cycle abnormalities, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), menopause, premature ovarian failure, male hypogonadism including late onset male hypogonadism and pubertal disorders.

Patients with thyroid disorders include those with hyper- and hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the body produces too much thyroid hormone causing symptoms including nervousness, heat intolerance and weight loss. In hypothyroidism, by contrast, the body produces too little thyroid hormone causing fatigue, cold intolerance, hair loss and weight gain, among other symptoms. At least 10 percent of women have hypothyroidism by the age of 50. We offer ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodules including molecular testing, and we work with our Nuclear Medicine colleagues to use radioactive iodine (RAI) to scan or destroy thyroid cells that are overactive or malignant.

Our endocrinologists and nurse practitioner are highly trained specialists in endocrinology services and metabolic disorders in the Louisville area. They have received training at some of the finest institutions in the country, including the National Institutes of Health, Albert Einstein Medical Center and Emory University. They hold leadership positions in national organizations, including the Endocrine Society and the American Diabetes Association, and serve as consultants on NIH panels and on Veterans Affairs (VA) study sections.

As part of the UofL Physicians team, our endocrinologists frequently meet with other UofL Physicians specialists to evaluate and discuss our patients treatment. These specialists include ophthalmologists, nephrologists, radiologists and nuclear medicine specialists.

UofL Physicians-Endocrinology also maintains inpatient consultation services at Jewish Hospital, Norton Hospital, the Louisville Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University of Louisville Hospital. We do more than 200 initial inpatient consultations per year.

Integrative Medicine at Beaumont

Thursday, August 4th, 2016

Integrative medicine, sometimes referred to as holistic medicine or complementary medicine, combines conventional and alternative approaches to address the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of health and illness. Our services are available for both adults and children.

Beaumont's Integrative Medicine Program focuses on healing the whole person, with the goal of improving quality of life for patients, their families and others close to them.

We offer clinical massage, acupuncture, naturopathy, guided imagery, reflexology, energy balancing with Reiki, scar therapy, lymphatic wellness massage, Indian Head Massage, hydrotherapy, Cranial Sacral Therapy, neuromuscular therapy, meditation and yoga which combine the best of Eastern traditions while complimenting traditional Western medical practice.

The goal of any successful integrative medicine program is to truly "integrate" allopathic medicine with mind-body-spirit modalities with the ultimate goal of helping patients adapt to traditional medical treatments. Our modalities directly affect the body's physiological healing process while gently awakening the mind-body-spirit connection needed to enhance the healing process.

Beaumont is also one of only a few centers in the United States who offers oncology/hospital massage training. This graduate program, overseen by Beaumont's integrative medicine department is offered through Beaumont's School of Allied Health.

Patients, their caregivers and the hospital staff need both private and group programs therefore we have structured our offerings around their stated needs. Individual treatments (regardless of hospital affiliation) include:

Our Medical Director, Maureen Anderson M.D., is board certified by the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine, with additional education in the functional medicine approach. Her primary training and board certifications are in emergency medicine and general pediatrics. Over the years, Dr. Anderson has cared for patients of every age, presenting with a whole constellation of symptoms and diseases.

The wisdom and experience gained during years as an emergency physician have afforded her a unique and broad perspective, which nicely complements her integrative medicine skills and expertise. Dr. Anderson brings all of this, along with a passion for wellness, and a genuine interest in the total well-being of others to her integrative medicine practice

Treatment | Stemgenn

Thursday, August 4th, 2016

A single cell that can replicate itself and differentiate into many cell types. Therefore it is called the master cell of our body. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function i.e. muscle cell, red blood cell, liver cell, brain cell, etc.Stem cells exhibit inherent properties of plasticity, homing, engraftment and self renewal. This capacity to regenerate into various cell types holdshuge clinical potentials.

Stem Cell is the master cell of our and can give rise to any kind of cells. Ideally stem cells are classified as embryonic, adult, foetal and induced pluripotent stem cells. Stem Cells are pluripotent, totipotent and multipoint.

Regenerative cell functions include:

Mainly stem cells are of two types: embryonic and adult. We use adult stem cells for treatment which are found inbone marrow, adipose tissue, peripheral blood, dental pulp, cord blood, menstrual blood etc.

Cells removed from a patient and replaced during the same surgical procedure pose no greater risk of disease transmission than the surgery itself. FDA Regulation of Stem Cell Based Therapies, Halme and Kessler, New England Journal of Medicine, 2006.

The fat from the mini- liposuction is processed using a combination of centrifuge and incubation.Cellular compositions of the SVF areadult mesenchymal stem cells, pre-adipocytes, endothelial cells (thin layer of cells that lines the interior surface of blood vessels), smooth muscle cells, connective tissue, fibroblasts, growth factors.

We are MSU SportsMEDICINE. For over twenty years we have provided quality health care to MSU athletes and the mid-Michigan area. We are the unquestioned leader in providing non-operative and operative care to athletes and sport participants of all ages. Evaluation and diagnostic services are provided by the experienced staff physicians, physician assistants, and support staff. Utilization of athletic training services within the clinic and with local physical therapists, allows athletic participants an aggressive and comprehensive approach to return to sports and the performing arts.

Comprehensive care of the injured athlete and active participant is the primary focus of MSU SportsMEDICINE. The staff of primary care and orthopedic specialists at MSU SportsMEDICINE work closely with primary care providers in the mid-Michigan area offering a referral opportunity to better serve the active recreational athletes regarding their injuries. Utilizing a full spectrum of ancillary health care providers within MSU and throughout the community, MSU SportsMEDICINE has taken the approach to treating the whole athlete as opposed to any of its parts. Sports psychiatry, nutrition, biomechanical analysis, manual medicine techniques, stress testing and body fat determinations are just a few of the avenues the sports medicine staff will utilize to enhance an athletes performance and also return them to play.

Esquire Sports Medicine

Thursday, August 4th, 2016

Esquire Orthopedic Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine is as much a part of St. Louis as the St. Louis Arch, the Cardinals, the Blues and Forest Park.

When you walk through our doors you will receive a thorough examination, and possible testing prior to a treatment program being initiated.

We treat all types of muscular skeletal injuries, including those caused by car accidents, work-related incidents and sports injuries.

You can feel confident knowing that we are the oldest sports medicine clinic in St. Louis. Long before hospitals had sports medicine departments, there was Esquire Sports Medicine. All of our doctors are athletes who have had many of the injuries that you have experienced. We know what it is to be in pain and we are able to diagnose why you are suffering and what to do about it.

We pride ourselves on proper diagnosis. That is critical to your recovery. When you come to us, we determine what is causing your pain or what to do about your injury. We do a thorough examination, which may involve an X-ray or MRI. We then treat you and get you back on the go again. However, if we believe that you may need surgery, we will refer you to a health care provider who specializes in the best outcome for your condition.

We have 3 convenient locations in central St. Louis, south St. Louis and Belleville, Illinois. We will to see you within 24 hours, but most of the time, the same day. Our goal is to take your pain away. Tell us what hurts and let us help you. We promise to treat you with respect. Our patients say they trust us. They say we treat them as family. We like that.

Julian Assange: Why the world needs WikiLeaks

Gayla Benefield was just doing her job until she uncovered an awful secret about her hometown that meant its mortality rate was 80 times higher than anywhere else in the U.S. But when she tried to tell people about it, she learned an even more shocking truth: People didnt want to know. In a talk thats part history lesson, part call-to-action, Margaret Heffernan demonstrates the danger of "willful blindness" and praises ordinary people like Benefield who are willing to speak up. (Filmed at TEDxDanubia.)

This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxDanubia, an independent event. TED editors featured it among our selections on the home page.

How willful blindness can corrupt the workplace

In a half-hour podcast from BBC Radio 4, Margaret Heffernan explores how we choose to be ignorant in big businesses and how this can have serious consequences.

Mesenchymal dental stem cells in regenerative dentistry

Thursday, August 4th, 2016

Abstract

In the last decade, tissue engineering is a field that has been suffering an enormous expansion in the regenerative medicine and dentistry. The use of cells as mesenchymal dental stem cells of easy access for dentist and oral surgeon, immunosuppressive properties, high proliferation and capacity to differentiate into odontoblasts, cementoblasts, osteoblasts and other cells implicated in the teeth, suppose a good perspective of future in the clinical dentistry. However, is necessary advance in the known of growth factors and signalling molecules implicated in tooth development and regeneration of different structures of teeth. Furthermore, these cells need a fabulous scaffold that facility their integration, differentiation, matrix synthesis and promote multiple specific interactions between cells. In this review, we give a brief description of tooth development and anatomy, definition and classification of stem cells, with special attention of mesenchymal stem cells, commonly used in the cellular therapy for their trasdifferentiation ability, non ethical problems and acceptable results in preliminary clinical trials. In terms of tissue engineering, we provide an overview of different types of mesenchymal stem cells that have been isolated from teeth, including dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs), periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), dental follicle progenitor stem cells (DFPCs), and stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs), growth factors implicated in regeneration teeth and types of scaffolds for dental tissue regeneration.

Key words:Dental stem cells, regenerative dentistry, mesenchymal stem cells, tissue engineering, stem cells.

The formation of the tooth is determined by the cells of which it is composed, the buccal epithelial cells that form the enamel organ and the mesenchymal cells that form the dental papilla. The enamel is formed by the enamel organ, and the dentin is formed by the dental papilla. Cells from the neural crest also take part in tooth formation. These cells originate in the nervous system and later migrate to the maxilla and mandible, where they interact with mesenchymal cells to form the enamel organ and the dental papilla (1,2).

The tooth has two anatomical parts. The crown is the part of the tooth which is covered with enamel and it is the part usually visible in the mouth. The root is the part embedded in the jaw. It anchors the tooth in its bony socket and is normally not visible. The tissues of tooth are enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels and nerves that enter the tooth from a hole at the apex of the root and cementum (Fig.). Around of tooth the periodontal ligament attaches the cementum to the alveolar (3).

-Dental Pulp Tissue

Dental pulp is a loose connective tissue that occupies the pulp chamber of the tooth and originates in the embryonic dental papilla (ectomesenchymal tissue); it is the mature form of the papilla and the only smooth tissue of the tooth. The principal cell of this tissue is the odontoblast, also referred to as the dentinoblast. The dental pulp also contains fibroblasts, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells or stem cells, macrophages, and lymphocytes (4).

-Periodontal ligament (PDL)

The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a vascularised, cellular soft connective tissue that surrounds the teeth and joins the root cementum with the hard sheet of the alveolar bone (5). Most of the cells in the PDL are fibroblasts, which primarily function to synthesise and maintain the extracellular matrix. These fibroblasts contain a developed cytoskeleton of microtubules and actin microfilaments that has been implicated in cellular motility processes. In addition to fibroblasts, the PDL contains osteoblasts, osteoclasts, cementoblasts, macrophages, and stem cells that are capable of generating fibroblasts, cementoblasts, and osteoblasts (6,7).

The term stem cell was proposed for scientific use by Russian histologist Alexander Maksimov in 1909. Alexander Maximov was the first to suggest the existence of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) with the morphological appearance of a lymphocyte, capable of migrating throughout the blood to microecological niches that would allow them to proliferate and differentiate along specific (8). While research on stem cells grew out of findings by Canadian scientists in the 1960s (8,9). Based on their origin, there are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells (ES cells) and postnatal or adult stem cells (AS cells). Embryonic stem cells were harvested from embryos, they are cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst (early stage embryo, 4-5 days old, consist of 50-150 cells) of earlier morula stage embryo. In other words these are the cells that form the three germ layers, and are capable of developing more than 200 cell types. In 1998 the first human embryonic stem cell line was derived at university of Wisconsin-Madison (10).

Stem cells can be classified according to their abilities to differentiate as totipotent, pluripotent, or multipotent. Totipotent stem cells are those that can be implanted in the uterus of a living animal and give rise to a full organism. Pluripotent stem cells are those that can give rise to every cell of an organism except its extra-embryonic tissues, such as the placenta. This limitation re-stricts pluripotent stem cells from developing into a full organism. Embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are pluripotent stem cells. Multipotent stem cells are adult stem cells which only generate specific lineages of cells (11,12).

Embryonic stem cells have both moral and technical problems; because these cells will later develop into a human being, taking these cells will require destruction of an embryo. Technically these cells are difficult to control and grow and they might as well form tumors after their injection (13). Differentiating embryonic stem cells into usable cells while avoiding transplant rejection are just a few of the hurdles that embryonic stem cell researchers still face. And after ten years of research, there are no approved treatments or human trials using embryonic stem cells; but because of the combined abilities of unlimited expansion and pluripotency, embryonic stem cells remain a theoretically potential source of regenerative medicine and tissue replacement after injury or disease (14).

A very recent development, with potentially a profound significance for clinical therapy has been the generation of induced pluri-potent stem (iPS) cells from somatic cells. The method for iPS cell induction is ground-breaking because somatic cells are converted directly into pluripotent cells through introduction of four genes: Oct-4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4 (15). iPS cells have been shown to be similar to ES cells in morphology, proliferation and differentiation capacity and genomic and epigenomic states (16).

To date, AS cells provide a promising tool for clinical applications in the near future due to their accessibility, despite their reduced plasticity (11). Although limited in their capability to differentiate, they can still develop into a number of cell lineages. The possibility of harvesting postnatal stem cells for later use in the same patient eliminates immunological difficulties and the risk of pathogen transmission. Adult stem cells from autologous origin are an appealing, and practical source for cell-based regenerative therapies that hold realistic clinical potential (11).

-Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Alexander Friedenstein was the first to evidence the presence of a population of nonhematopoietic cells that were capable of autorenovation and bone differentiation in the bone marrow (17). Subsequently, others showed the bone-marrow-derived cells isolated according to Friedensteins technique, also possessed high potency of proliferation and pluripotency of differentiation into mesenchymal tissues, and therefore Caplan used the term mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) to describe them (18). Further studies have established mesenchymal stem cells as a heterogeneous cell population in which each individual cell varies in its gene expression, differentiative capacity, expansion potential and phenotype (19,20). Moreover, all of them do not seem to fulfill the stem cell criteria. Therefore, they are preferred to be called multipotent stromal cell with the same acronym MSC (20). Several studies have demonstrated that MSCs can be isolated from multiple tissues, such as bone marrow, peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood, adult connective tissue, dental tissues, placenta, and amniotic membrane (21-24).

At present, any cell population which meets the following characteristics, irrespective of its tissue source, is generally referred as MSC: morphologically, they adhere to plastic and have a fibroblast-like appearance; functionally, they have the ability of self-renewal and could differentiate into cells of the mesenchymal lineage (osteocyte, chondrocyte and adipocyte), also into cells of the endoderm (hepatocytes) and ectoderm (neurons) lineages under proper cell culture conditions; phenotypically, they express more than 95% of the population express the CD105, CD73,CD90 surface antigens and that less than 2% of the population ex-press the pan-leukocyte marker CD45, the primitive hematopoietic progenitor and endothelial cell marker CD34, the monocyte and macrophage markers CD14 and CD11, the B cell markers CD79 and CD19, or HLA class II (25).

-Tissue Engineering in Dentistry with Mesenchymal dental stem cells

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field of study that applies the principles of engineering to biology and medicine toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, and improve normal function (26). The emerging discipline of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine endeavors to use a rational approach based on morphogenetic signals for tissue induction, responding stem/progenitor cells and the scaffold to maintain and preserve the microenvironment (26).

Growth factors

Growth factors and signaling molecules have the ability to stimulate cellular proliferation and cellular differentiation. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) family members are used sequentially and repeatedly throughout embryonic tooth development, initiation, morphogenesis, cytodifferentiation and matrix secretion (26). Six different Bmps (Bmp2Bmp7) are coexpressed tem-porally and spatially Bmp6 were identified in human primary culture of dental pulp cells (27). BMPs have been successfully ap-plied for the regeneration of periodontal tissue (28), and other factors, such as PDGF, IGF-1, FGF-2, TGF-, and BMPs (29), have utility in tooth tissue engineering. Dentin matrix protein-1, a non-collagenous protein involved in the mineralization process, induced cytodifferentiation, collagen production and calcified deposits in dental pulp in a rat model (27). Other investigations have been demonstrated the effect of dexamethasone in cultures with dental stem cells, where these cells in combination with dexa-methasone can differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes or chondrocytes (30). Recently has been comproved the role of 17-estradiol on cementoblast activity. An in vitro study with PDL fibroblasts showed enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralized nodule formation when 17-estradiol was added to the cell-culture medium (31).

Cell Source: Mesenchymal dental stem cells (MDSCs)

To date, several types of adult stem cells have been isolated from teeth, including dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) (32), stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) (33), periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) (34), dental follicle progenitor stem cells (DFPCs) (35), and stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) (36).

MDSCs are multipotent cells that proliferate extensively (maintained for at least 25 passages), can be safely cryopreserved, pos-sess immunosuppressive properties, and express mesenchymal markers. MSDSCs can be isolated using explant cultures or enzy-matic digestion. In addition, the stem cells derived from teeth are large spindle-shaped cells with a large central nucleus abundant cytoplasm, and cytoplasmic extensions in culture (Fig. ). These adherent cells are morphologically identical to the mesenchymal stem cells obtained from bone marrow (BMMSCs) (32). MDSCs can differentiate in vitro into cells of all of the germinal layers, including ectoderm (neural cells), mesoderm (myocytes, osteo-blasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, and cardiomyocytes), and endo-derm (hepatic cells) (37).

In 2000, Gronthos et al. (32) discovered a new type of stem cells from adult human dental pulp that have the ability to differentiate into odontoblasts/osteoblasts, adypocites and neural cells. These were termed dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) (32). Transplanted ex vivo expanted DPSC mixed with hydroxyapatite/ tricalcium phosphate form ectopic dentin/pulp-like complexes in immunocompromised mice (32). These polls of heterogeneous DPSC form vascularizad pulp like tissue and are surrounded by a layer of odontoblast-like cells expressing factors that produce dentin containing tubules similar those found in natural dentin (32). In addition, DPSCs express mesenchymal markers as CD73, CD90 and CD105 (37). Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs), also termed immature, are MDSCs from dental pulp tissue of human deciduous teeth with the capacity to differentiate into osteogenic and odontogenic cells, adipocytes, and neural cells (32). As neural crest cell-associated postnatal stem cells, SHED express a variety of neural cell markers including nestin, beta III tubulin, GAD, NeuN, GFAP, NFM, and CNPase (33). Also, SHED are able to form bone when transplanted in vivo and may be an appropriate stem cell resource for treating immune disorders via improved immunomodulatory properties (33). Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) isolated from human periodontal ligament also express mesenchymal markers. In vitro, PDLSCs have the ability to differentiate in vitro into adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic cells (34). PDLSCs represent a novel stem cell population in terms of in vivo capacity to differentiate into cells similar to cementoblasts and collagen-forming cells, as evidenced positively en preclinical studies (34). Dental follicle progenitor stem cells (DFPCs) obtained from a mesenchymal tissue that surrounds the developing tooth germ are multipotent stem cells that have immunomodulatory properties, high proliferation potential and capacity to differentiate into odontoblasts, cementoblasts, osteoblasts and other cells implicated in the teeth (35). Furthemore, are able to re-create a new periodontal ligament (PDL) after in vivo implantation (37). Finally, the stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) isolated from a precursor of radicular pulp, express mesenchymal markers and can differentiate into odontoblast-like cells and produce dentin-like tissue in both in vitro and in vivo study systems (36). SCAP together with PDLSCs are able to form a root-like structure when seeded onto the hydroxyapatite-based scaffold and implanted in pig jaws (37).

Scaffold

Actually, investigators search the ideal scaffold to facilitate the growth, integration and differentiation of stem cells. The scaffold should be biocompatible, non-toxic and have optimal physical features and mechanical properties. Experiments with cell-free scaffolds are especially attractive because of an easier handling process that eliminates the issues associated with the use of stem cells and their expansion in vitro, with storage and shelf-life, cost aspects, immunoresponse of the host and transmission of diseases (38). However there are some disvantages in this method: first, the cells may have low survival rates. Second, the cells might migrate to different locations within the body, possibly leading to aberrant patterns to mineralization. A solution for this problem may be to apply the cells together with a scaffold. This would help to position and maintain cell localization (39).

Many materials have been designed and constructed for tissue engineering approaches, namely natural and synthetic polymers or inorganic materials and composites, which have been fabricated into porous scaffolds, nanofibrous materials, microparticles and hydrogels. Natural materials include collagen, elastin, fibrin, alginate, silk, glycosaminoglycans such as hyaluronan, and chitosan (40). They offer a high degree of structural strength, are compatible with cells and tissues and biodegradable, but are often difficult to process and afflicted with the risk of transmitting animal-associated pathogens or provoking an immunoresponse. Synthetic polymers as poly lactic acid (PLA), poly glycolic acid (PGA), and their copolymer, poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) provide excellent chemical and mechanical properties and allow high control over the physicochemical characteristics, such as molecular weight, configuration of polymer chains, or the presence of functional groups. Recently, hydrogels have been explored for tissue engineering applications in more detail. Hydrogels offer numerous interesting properties including high biocompatibility, a tissue-like water content and mechanical characteristics similar to those of native tissue (40).
