Effects of serum-free culture media on human apical papilla cells properties

Aiming at more effective and safer cell therapies, the objective of this study was to evaluate the biological properties of human apical papilla cells cultured in the absence of serum supplementation in comparison to cells cultured with fetal bovine serum (FBS). Two apical papilla cell populations were isolated from third molars with incomplete rhizogenesis, and cultured in four different media: minimum essential Eagle medium – alpha...
