Identification of genes related to mechanical stress in human periodontal ligament cells using microarray analysis
26 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Differential expression of genes in human periodontal ligament (PDL) under mechanical stress, such as orthodontic force, is thought to be involved in the remodeling of PDL cells and periodontal tissues. However, little is known about the genes expressed in PDL cells under mechanical stress. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We employed microarray analysis to assess, in a comprehensive manner, the...
