Regulation of Cyclooxygenase 2 by Filifactor alocis in Fibroblastic and Monocytic Cells

Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease triggered by a synergistic and dysbiotic microbiota present in the oral biofilm. This in vitro study is aimed at evaluating the regulation of cyclooxygenase (COX)2 expression and production by the periodontopathogen Filifactor alocis in human...
