Basic fibroblast growth factor promotes human dental pulp stem cells cultured in 3D porous chitosan scaffolds to neural differentiation

Abstract

Chitosan scaffolds were non-cytotoxic to the survival of DPSCs, and chitosan scaffolds combined with bFGF facilitated the neural differentiation of DPSCs. The transplantation of DPSCs/chitosan-scaffold+bFGF might be a secure and effective method of treating SCI and other neuronal diseases.
