Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are adult multipotent stem cells of neuroectodermal origin; they provide an encouraging perspective in the domain of nerve tissue engineering. DPSCs could be transplanted in biodegradable electrospun neuro-supportive scaffold (optimized in various 3D geometries like coating on the surface of titanium implant, hollow/solid tubes, etc.) for enhanced in vivo recovery of peripheral nerves. Herein, we describe the fabrication of uniform bead-free nanofibrous scaffold which supports DPSCs, proliferation, and their subsequent neural differentiation and thus could be utilized for enhanced regeneration of peripheral nervous system.
