Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells play an important role in regulating osseous remodeling and ligament formation. Mechanical loading and the specific cellular environment are involved in these processes, regulating cell behavior. However, most in vitro experimental setups investigate mechanical loading or substrate texture separately and thus do not fully represent the PDL microenvironment. Therefore,...
