Induced mesenchymal stem cells generated from periodontal ligament fibroblast for regenerative therapy.
Article in Experimental biology and medicine (Maywood, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bone fractures and bone loss represent significant global health challenges, with their incidence rising due to an aging population. Despite autologous bone grafts remain the gold standard for treatment, challenges such as limited bone availability, immune reactions, and the risk of infectious disease transmission have driven the search for alternative cell-based therapies for bone regeneration. Stem cells derived from oral tissues and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown potential in both preclinical and clinical studies for bone tissue regeneration. However, their limited differentiation capacity and wound healing abilities necessitate the exploration of alternative cell sources. In this study, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using a safe, nonviral and mRNA-based approach from human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLF), an easily accessible cell source. These iPSCs were subsequently differentiated into MSCs, referred to as induced MSCs (iMSCs). The resulting iMSCs were homogeneous, highly proliferative, and possessed anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting their potential as a superior alternative to traditional MSCs for regenerative therapy. These iMSCs demonstrated trilineage differentiation potential, giving rise to osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes. The iMSC-derived osteocytes (iOSTs) were homogeneous, patient-specific and showed excellent attachment and growth on commercial collagen-based membranes, highlighting their suitability for bone tissue regeneration applications. Given their promising characteristics compared to traditional MSCs, PDLF-derived iMSCs are strong candidates for future clinical studies in bone regeneration and other regenerative dental therapies.
