Osteoblastic differentiation followed by mineralized bone matrix production was found to be significantly higher (p < 0.05) when MSCs were associated with PRP/DBM in culture after 14-21-days of induction. Osteopontin and osteocalcin gene expression were significantly superior (p < 0.05) under the same culture conditions after 21 days of observation. In conclusion, addition of PRP to DBM co-cultured with MSCs successfully induced osteogenesis in vitro.381-384engBoneMesenchymal stem cellsPlatelet-rich plasmaUmbilical cordArtigo10.4142/jvs.2015.16.3.381Acesso restrito50710939310174936404176495306171543179868424319626040617PMC45880250000-0002-0923-1943
