Dental follicle cells rescue the regenerative capacity of periodontal ligament stem cells in an inflammatory microenvironment.

AIMS: Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are one of the best candidates for periodontal regeneration. Their function could be impaired in periodontitis microenvironment. Dental follicle cells (DFCs), serving as precursor cells and mesenchymal stem cells, have intimate connection with PDLSCs. H...
