Proliferative Capacity and Differentiation Potential of Isolated Postnatal Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells in Diabetic Patients

Stem cells are characterized by the ability to form clones, self-regenerate and differentiate into different types of cells. Stem cells derived from human dental pulp (DPSCs) have been shown to differentiate into odontoblasts in vitro after using Bone Morphogenic Protein -2 (BMP-2). The aim of the present study was to explore the variations in the differentiation potential of the DPSC into odontoblasts in diabetic adults; it also aimed at...
