Nanotopological-tailored calcium phosphate cements for the odontogenic stimulation of human dental pulp stem cells through integrin signaling

Abstract

Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are a unique class of inorganic injectables attractive for the repair and regeneration of hard tissues. Tailoring the crystallite properties of CPC, particularly to represent nanotopological features, is favorable for stimulating biological reactions. Nanotopological tailoring has recently been achieved on CPCs by simply modulating the sizes of the initial particles. Herein, we aim to investigate the effects of nanotopological-tailored CPCs on the odontogenic differentiation of stem cells derived from human dental pulp (HDPSCs) as well as on their implicated...
