Notch Signaling Hydrogels Enable Rapid Vascularization and Promote Dental Pulp Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 35, September 18, 2024.
The study introduces a Notch signaling hydrogel designed to enable rapid dental tissue pulp revascularization. This approach orchestrates a proangiogenic microenvironment by inducing specific Notch signaling, promoting angiogenesis, and interacting with Wnt signaling to facilitate odontogenesis for pulp‐dentin complex regeneration.
