Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC) are isolated from adult third molars collected during the extraction of a donor's "wisdom" teeth. These cells have demonstrated very similar phenotypic and functional characteristics to that of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC) have been reported to differentiate down many different lineages including chondrogenic, osteogenic, adipogenic and neural. Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC) have been cryopreserved at primary passage and the SuperCult® Dental Pulp Stem Cells Medium Kit has been optimized for cell maintenance and expansion.

Applications:

Toxicology/drug screening

Regenerative medicine/dentistry/cell therapy

Muscular Dystrophy

Corneal replacement therapy

Cardiovascular disease

Comparative stem cell research

Cryopreserved Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC) are guaranteed through 10 population doublings, to express CD105, CD166, CD29, CD90, and CD73, and to not express CD34, CD45, and CD133. All cells test negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. HIV-1, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are not detected for all donors and/or cell lots. A Certificate of Analysis is provided for each cell lot purchased.
