Dental Pulp Stem Cells in Neuroregeneration

Sunil Paramel Mohan et al. J Pharm Bioallied Sci. 2020 Aug.

Abstract

Neurological diseases and injuries affect the routine life of patients. Current medical and surgical treatment has not improved the quality of life to desired limits. Neural regeneration through stem cells may be ideal choice in current scenario. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), which are isolated from dental pulp, have shown excellent neuroregenerative properties in various animal studies. This review outlines the clinical perspective of DPSCs in neuroregeneration.

Keywords: Dental pulp stem cells; nerve regeneration; neuroregeneration.
