The proliferation and migration activities of DPSCs cultured with bioceramics-containing composite hydrogels. a Proliferation of DPSCs cultured with composite hydrogels for 1, 3 and 5 days (n = 5). b Morphology of DPSCs on the surface of these hydrogels. c Crystalline violet staining images of migrated DPSCs after cultured with these composite hydrogels. d Quantitative statistics of the migrated DPSCs (n = 6). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. GelMA-5LCS composite hydrogels could obviously enhance the proliferation and migration of DPSCs
