NOVEL CALCIUM PHOSPHATE CEMENT WITH METFORMIN-LOADED CHITOSAN FOR ODONTOGENIC DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN DENTAL PULP CELLS

Novel Calcium Phosphate Cement with Metformin-Loaded Chitosan for Odontogenic Differentiation of Human Dental Pulp Cells

Metformin is an old and widely accepted first-line drug for treating type 2 diabetes.Our previous studies demonstrate that metformin can stimulate the osteo/odontogenic differentiation of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells and human dental pulp cells (DPCs).Due to the rapid dilution of metformin from the defect area,
