Abstract excerpt
The present study aimed to investigate the role of orthodontic force in osteogenesis differentiation, matrix deposition and mineralization in periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) cells in inflammatory microenvironments. The mesenchymal origin of PDLCs was confirmed by vimentin and cytokeratin staining. PDLCs were exposed to inflammatory cytokines (5 ng/ml IL‑1β and 10 ng/ml TNF‑α) and/or tensile strength (0.5 Hz,...
