Signaling transduction analysis in gingival epithelial cells after infection with <i>Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans</i>
15 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Periodontal diseases result from the interaction of bacterial pathogens with the host's gingival tissue. Gingival epithelial cells are constantly challenged by microbial cells and respond by altering their transcription profiles, inducing the production of inflammatory mediators. Different transcription profiles are induced by oral bacteria and little is known about how the gingival epithelium responds after...
