Ex-vivo recellularisation and stem cell differentiation of a decellularised rat dental pulp matrix

Abstract Implementing the principles of tissue engineering within the clinical management of non-vital immature permanent teeth is of clinical interest. However, the ideal scaffold remains elusive. The aim of this work was to assess the feasibility of decellularising rat dental pulp tissue and evalu...
