Depletion of EREG enhances the osteo/dentinogenic differentiation ability of dental pulp stem cells via the p38 MAPK and Erk pathways in an inflammatory microenvironment

Abstract Background Epiregulin (EREG) is an important component of EGF and was demonstrated to promote the osteo/dentinogenic differentiation of stem cells from dental apical papilla (SCAPs). Whether EREG can stimulate the osteo/dentinogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in infla...
