[摘要]牙囊前体细胞(DFPC)是一类具有自我更新和多向分化潜能的牙源性干细胞。DFPC属于间充质干细胞，可被诱导分化为成纤维样、成骨、成牙骨质样、脂肪样和神经样细胞。本文就DFPC的培养、鉴定和定向分化，DFPC与脱落乳牙干细胞间的比较等研究进展作一综述。

    [Abstract]Dental follicle precursor cells(DFPC)are reported to be a kind of dental-derived stem cells with self renewal and multiple-direction differential potential. DFPC which belong to mesenchymal stem cells can be inducted to fibroblast-like, osteoblast/cementoblast-like, adipocyte-like and neurocyte-like cells. This paper aimed to summarize the culture, identification and differentiation of DFPC, as well as the comparison between DFPC and stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth.
