Abstract:To investigate the effect of EDTA-treated dentin on the differentiation of mouse induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Dentin discs were prepared from bovine incisors and treated with 17% EDTA. Embryoid bodies (EBs) formed from mouse iPS cells were seeded on the dentin discs for the experiment. The roughness of the EDTA-treated dentin surface, Sa and Sdr, was higher and collagen fibrillike structures were observed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in vitro. In RT-PCR, the mRNA levels of the osteoblast … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
