Erratum to: Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells Explored in the Dental Field

The paragraph under DFSCs: ‘‘However, DFSCs exhibit telomerase activity, a characteristic feature of ESCs [77, 78, 85]. Telomerase is an enzyme that adds DNA sequence TTAGGG to the 50 end in the telomere regions of the chromosomes. Normally the telomere region in each chromosome is shortened with every replication cycle (mitosis). Due to the action of telomerase in some cells expressing it, including ESCs and cancer cells, this region is not significantly shortened during mitosis and aging of the chromosomes is hindered, which principally confers immortality to the cells. Whether this expression is an advantage or
