Abstract
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have been isolated from a variety of fetal and adult tissues and are considered an ideal source for cell-based therapy due to their unique properties such as multipotency and immunomodulatory functions. The aim of this work is to observe, analyze and investigate the morphology and proliferation of human dental pulp stem cells cultured in two different culture media: Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) or platelet lysate. These cells would be cultured for a minimum period of 14 days to 3 months. The desired outcome is a pure culture of mesenchymal stem cells. With this present study we will determine which culture mediumpromotesthe most rapid formation of a pure culture of mesenchymal stem cells derived from Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC).
