Do human periodontal ligament cells express osteoblastic phenotypes under intermittent force loading in vitro?
Human PDL cells express osteoblastic phenotypes under intermittent force loading and play a role in alveolar bone remodeling.
LPS preconditioning induces neuroprotection against ischemic brain injury in a mouse model of stroke. LPS preconditioning suppresses the cellular inflammatory response to ischemia in the brain and circulation. Diminished activation of cellular inflammatory responses that ordinarily exacerbate ischemic injury may contribute to neuroprotection induced by LPS preconditioning.
