The Antimicrobial Peptide LL-37 as a Possible Adjunct for the Proliferation and Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells

These results demonstrated that LL-37 was biocompatible at these concentrations and increased the number of viable cells, especially during the initial period. The 10 μg/mL concentration arrested the cell cycle and increased expression of the DSPP protein and gene, which indicates that this peptide contributes to odontoblastic differentiation.
