Abstract: Cell lineage tracing technology plays an important role in studying the cell origin, proliferation and differentiation during the process of growth, metabolism, diseases development of organisms, especially for exploring the origin of different stem cells, as well as a variety of precursors of adult cells. There are various cell lineage tracing technologies, and every method exhibited different scope, principle, advantages and shortcomings. In this article, we would like to systematically review the development, application, advantages and disadvantages of different cell lineage tracing technologies, especially for application in the stomatology.
