The involvement of neural tissues and their products in the inflammatory response have been the subject of much research in recent years. Of particular interest is the role of neuropeptides in the early healing response, that is, a role beyond the immediate vasoactive effect. This report is based on the MDSc thesis of Ian Trantor which was supported in part by an ASE research grant. The report outlines the effects of Substance P ( SP ) and calcitonin gene‐related peptide ( CGRP ) on human pulp fibroblasts in‐vitro .
