Osteoimmunology of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases: Translational Applications Based on Biological Mechanisms

Abstract excerpt

The maxillofacial skeleton is highly dynamic and requires a constant equilibrium between the bone resorption and bone formation. The field of osteoimmunology explores the interactions between bone metabolism and the immune response, providing a context to study the complex cellular and molecular networks involved in oro-maxillofacial osteolytic diseases. In this review, we present a framework for understanding...
