apical bud
2.METHODS:Incisor dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and apical bud cells (ABCs) from 4-week-old SD rats were isolated and cultured in vitro. Primary cells were harvested as pellets which were incubated in the centrifuge tubes for 5 hours. DPSC pellets were re-associated with ABC pellets at different ratios (1:10, 1:1 and 10:1), then implanted into the renal capsules of SD rat hosts.
