Decellularized Scaffolds of Nopal () for Bioengineering in Regenerative Dentistry.

, or nopal, is traditionally used for its medicinal properties in Mexico. This study aims to decellularize and characterize nopal () scaffolds, assess their degradation and the proliferation of hDPSC, and determine potential pro-inflammatory effects by assessing the expression of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX-1 and 2). The scaffolds were decellularized using a 0.
