Objective: The involvement of the dura mater in calvarial development and bone healing lead to a hypothesis that progenitor cells with multiple differentiation potentials exist within this tissue. The present study investigated the differentiation potentials of dura mater-derived cells by driving them into several cell-restricted lineages.
Methods: Dissected dura mater tissue of neonatal rats was washed, finely minced, and enzymatically digested. The harvested cells were exposed to different differentiation (osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic) and basic media.
Results: At defined time points, dura mater-derived cells were observed to differentiate into osteoblastic, adipoblastic, and chondroblastic cells, evidenced by specific biochemical staining. In addition, gene expressions of osteogenesis (alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and osteopontin), chondrogenesis (collagen Type II and aggrecan core protein) and adipogenesis (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma-2) were up-regulated in the differentiated dura mater-derived cells, confirmed by polymerase chain reaction.
Conclusion: Preliminarily, it was concluded that a subpopulation of multiple potential mesenchymal cells exists in neonatal dura mater, which explains the function of the dura mater on neurocranium development and calvarial bone healing.

Chronic subdural hemorrhage (CSDH) refers to a hematoma with an envelope between the dura mater and the arachnoid membrane and is more common among the elderly. It was reported that the dura mater, which is highly vascularized with capillary beds, precapillary arterioles and postcapillary venules play an important role in the protection of the central nervous system (CNS). Numerous evidences suggests that peptides play an important role in neuroprotection of CNS.

Patient-derived cells hold great promise for precision medicine approaches in human health. Human dermal fibroblasts have been a major source of cells for reprogramming and differentiating into specific cell types for disease modeling. Postmortem human dura mater has been suggested as a primary source of fibroblasts for in vitro modeling of neurodegenerative diseases.

Cranial bone defects remain a great challenging problem in clinical settings, the influences of which are serious because of the intricate complications and related social problems, especially for young children with rapidly growing skulls. Currently, an increasing number of bone materials are being developed for cranial bone defects repair. In this study, two different biodegradable composite bone materials based on mineralized collagen (MC), with compact/porous structure, were constructed to promote bone regeneration for large cranial bone defect repair of one-month-old baby sheep.

Background: Cells within the dura mater have been implicated in the determination of suture patency and fusion. Craniosynostosis (CS), the premature fusion of 1 or more of the cranial sutures, could result from abnormal control over the differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells from the dura mater. This study tested whether dura mater cells derived from rabbits with congenital CS were different from cells derived from normal rabbits and investigated the effects that CS dura mater had on osteogenic differentiation in vitro and in vivo.
