Preparation of SDF-1α-loaded electrospun coaxial microspheres and their study on promoting migration and differentiation of dental pulp stem cells by Wenjie Feng, Chao Li, Qun An, Shaojing Shi, Yuanfei Wang, Guanfan Lu, Degang Sun

“…Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) has emerged as a promising approach to restore pulp vitality and promote root maturation. Stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α), a key chemokine, has shown significant potential in enhancing the migration and odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs).MethodsTo protect the bioactivity of SDF-1α during delivery and achieve controlled release, we fabricated core-shell structured SDF-1α/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres using electrospinning technology. …”
