Micropatterned hydrogels and cell alignment enhance the odontogenic potential of stem cells from apical papilla in-vitro. [PDF]
An understanding of the extracellular matrix characteristics which stimulate and guide stem cell differentiation in the dental pulp is fundamental for the development of enhanced dental regenerative therapies. Our objectives, in this study, were to determine whether stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP) responded to substrate stiffness, whether ...

Stem cells from the dental apical papilla in extracellular matrix hydrogels mitigate inflammation of microglial cells [PDF]
AbstractAfter spinal cord injury (SCI) chronic inflammation hampers regeneration. Influencing the local microenvironment after SCI may provide a strategy to modulate inflammation and the immune response. The objectives of this work were to determine whether bone or spinal cord derived ECM hydrogels can deliver human mesenchymal stem cells from the ...
