Diverse Effects of Lead Nitrate on the Proliferation, Differentiation, and Gene Expression of Stem Cells Isolated from a Dental Origin

<table>Soft agar assay of bone marrow stem cells (BM-MSCs), deciduous stem cells (SCDs), periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLs), and permanent stem cells (DPSCs) with HeLa cells as control after treatment of Pb<sup>2+</sup> at 160 <i>μ</i>M. Phase contrast microscope; 10x magnification of BM-MSCs, SCDs, PDLs, and DPSCs in presence of various concentrations of Pb<sup>2+</sup>.</table>
