牙髓干细胞属成体干细胞,应用牙髓干细胞修复神经组织的实验研究已有报道。我们以牙髓干细胞属性和神经细胞方向诱导分化,神经修复的支架材料研究,牙髓干细胞修复神经组织的实验应用,以及其相关生物机制等4个方面,对该方向的研究进展进行综述。

Dental pulp stern cells （DPSCs）, as adult stem cells, have been reported for laboratory application on nervous tissue reconstruction. Hereby, in this article, characteristics of DPSCs and neural differentiation, scaffolds research for nervous tissue repair, experimental application of DPSCs on nervous tissue reconstruction and relevant bio-mechanisms were reviewed.
