Abstract
⺠Dentine & pulp extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules are chemoattractants for primary pulp cells. ⺠Chemoattractant effects of ECM were enhanced following physiologically relevant degradation. ⺠Pulp cell migration in response to dental ECMs was dependent on an active rho pathway. ⺠ECM recruited pulp cells exhibited increased stem cell marker expression. ⺠Release of dental ECM molecules in disease contributes to cell recruitment necessary for repair.
