The Effect of Differentiation of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells to Glial Cells on the Sensory Nerves of the Dental Pulp

Figure 1

Culture and characterization of hDPSCs: (a) hDPSCs were isolated from the coronal pulp of human third molars via enzymatic digestion and tissue cultivation; (b) vimentin protein was positive in hDPSCs (immunohistochemistry staining); (c) CD73, CD90, STRO-1, and CD45 were analyzed by flow cytometry; and (d) hDPSCs were cultured in osteogenic or adipogenic induction medium. Scale bar: 20 μm. hDPSC, human dental pulp stem cell.
