Immunolocalization of the mechanogated ion channels PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 in human and mouse dental pulp and periodontal ligament

Abstract excerpt

PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 are essential components of mechanogated ion channels, which are required for mechanotransduction and biological processes associated with mechanical stimuli. There is evidence for the presence of PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 in teeth and periodontal ligaments, especially in cell lines and mice, but human studies are almost nonexistent. Decalcified permanent human teeth and mouse molars were processed for...
