Does static compression regulate OPG expression in periodontal ligament cells via the CAMK II pathway?
Long-term static compression increases OPG expression in PDLCs, at least partially, via the CAMK II pathway.
The effects of radiation-induced atherosclerosis could not be circumvented by these specific anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant therapies. This suggests that more effective drug combinations may be required to overcome the radiation stimulus, or that other underlying mechanistic pathways are involved compared to age-related atherosclerosis.
