Abstract

Abstract

Hertwig's epithelial root sheath （HERS） cells are a special group of cells that play important roles during root development and formation of periodontal tissues. This paper summarizes the origin and morphological structure of HERS cells, as well as the recent researches on their biological behaviors, participation in the regulatory process of tooth development, and potential application to tissue repair and regeneration. It provides a reference for the subsequent study on application strategies and mechanisms of HERS cells and their derivatives in periodontal tissue regeneration.
