A Hydrogel Scaffold That Maintains Viability and Supports Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells

摘要

ObjectivesThe clinical translation of stem cell-based Regenerative Endodontics demands further development of suitable injectable scaffolds. Puramatrix™ is a defined, self-assembling peptide hydrogel which instantaneously polymerizes under normal physiological conditions. Here, we assessed the compatibility of Puramatrix™ with dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) growth and differentiation.
