Investigation of the effect of a time delay on the characteristics and survival of dental pulp stem cells from extracted teeth

This study investigates the post-extraction storage period of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) for stem cell banking by investigating the viability, function, mineralization, and gene expression of hDPSCs isolated from extracted teeth after 1 h, 6 h and 24 h post-tooth extraction. hDPSCs were extracted from the pulp of impacted third molar teeth after 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h after extraction. The mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) properties of three...
