    Effects of DynaMatrix® Membrane on Angiogenic Cytokine Expression From Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells
    (2013) Baker, Ryan William; Spolnik, Kenneth Jacob, 1950-; Ehrlich, Ygal; Vail, Mychel Macapagal, 1969-; Song, Fengyu; Legan, Joseph J.; Zunt, Susan L., 1951-; Windsor, L. Jack
    The aim of this current study was to determine if the exposure of human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSC) to the DynaMatrix membrane will result in an increased production of angiogenic cytokines that are critical for pulp/root regeneration. Angiogenesis cytokine arrays have been established as a viable method for assessing expression of cytokines.20 HDPSC were chosen as they are expected to be found in the apical papilla and the infected immature root canal system of teeth that current regenerative endodontic techniques are designed to treat.
