Comparing the effects of Elaegnus Angustifolia, Hypericum Perforatum and Psidium Guajava extracts on metabolic activity of dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Zahra Khodabandeh et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Hypericum perforatum, Elaeagnus Angustifolia, and Psidium guajava extracts on dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DP-MSCs). It was found that P. guajava had low toxicity and increased cell viability, while a concentration of 500µg/ml was toxic to DP-MSCs. The hydro-alcoholic extracts of the herbs were efficient in maintaining DP-MSC viability. Co-culturing stem cells with herbal elements could stimulate endogenous factors to enhance cell proliferation and viability.
