Apoptosis in temporomandibular joint disc with internal derangement involves mitochondrial-dependent pathways. Anin vivostudy
12 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Two main apoptosis pathways have been identified: an extrinsic (or death receptor-mediated) and an intrinsic (or mitochondrial) pathway. Apoptotic cell death through the extrinsic pathway has just been described in temporomandibular joint disc (TMJ) with internal derangement (ID); in contrast, no data are available on the involvement of the intrinsic pathway in this tissue. The aim of this work was to...
