Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms that control the function of periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts remain unclear. We speculated that the character of differentiating PDL fibroblasts is defined by the altered expansion of specific genes not found in neighboring gingival fibroblasts in the periodontium. To expand this set, subtractive hybridization was applied between cultured human PDL and gingival fibroblasts to...
