[Dental pulp cell]
abbr. DPCs. This general and collective term does not designate a single distinct cell type but refers to cells that constitute the connective tissue of the tooth cavity. Dental pulp cells are mesenchymal cells derived from the neural crest (Thesleff, 2003; Janebodin et al, 2011. Dental pulp cells detect and respond to extracellular Ca2+ (for overview see: An, 2019). These cells, odontoblasts in particular, also participate in immune responses to cariogenic bacteria (Farges et al, 2009). These cells sense infections by expressing pattern recognition receptors (for overview see: Staquet et al, 2011). Some of the stem cell populations within the dental pulp also promote angiogenesis
