Nerve diseases and injuries, which are usually accompanied by motor or sensory dysfunction disorder, impose a heavy burden upon patients greatly reduce their quality of life. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), derived from the neural crest, have many characteristics that similar to those cells, indicating they can be an ideal source for repair.
