Abstract excerpt
Despite their similar spindle-shaped appearance, periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLF) and gingival fibroblasts (GF) appear to display distinct functional activities in the maintenance of tissue integrity and during inflammatory/immune responses. We postulated that different characteristics of PDLF and GF are defined by the differential expression of specific genes. To test this, we investigated the possible...
