Wisdom teeth may have hidden medical value. Scientists at the University of the Basque Country discovered that these molars harbor dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) capable of transforming into different tissue types such as heart muscle, neurons, and bone. Because wisdom teeth are frequently removed and discarded, they represent an accessible and underutilized stem cell reservoir. This finding suggests potential future therapies that use a resource many people already possess.
