Cover Story: Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) hosted in plastically compressed dense collagen hydrogels have demonstrated a strong capacity for bone regeneration in vivo. However, optimal conditions for the preparation of these DPSC-seeded collagen constructs have not been elucidated yet. Here, we demonstrate that both physico-chemical and biological parameters have a strong impact on the process of biomineralization in vitro. In particular, small variations in pH/buffering conditions have a significant impact on the ability of the hydrogel to sustain the compression process. Moreover, because DPSCs do not significantly proliferate within such networks, a high seeding density is necessary to achieve mineralization. View this paper
