title: Harnessing cell size to separate genetically and functionally distinct dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stromal cell subpopulations
abstract: Dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (DPMSCs) represent a promising avenue for regenerative medicine. However, the therapeutic potency of DPMSCs is substantially influenced by their functional heterogeneity emerging during ex vivo expansion. Therefore, identifying and selecting the most potent subpopulation of DPMSCs following expansion is key to improving therapeutic efficacy and consistency. Nevertheless, conventional methods for isolating stem cell subpopulations are largely impracti
