Abstract
This is the first study to examine induced periodontitis under simulated microgravity in vivo. Microgravity significantly increased alveolar bone loss, elevated GCF alkaline phosphatase levels, and caused severe periodontal destruction with notable immune cell infiltration. Understanding the underlying molecular pathways may guide future treatments for periodontitis in space and on Earth.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Periodontal Research is an international research periodical the purpose of which is to publish original clinical and basic investigations and review articles concerned with every aspect of periodontology and related sciences. Brief communications (1-3 journal pages) are also accepted and a special effort is made to ensure their rapid publication. Reports of scientific meetings in periodontology and related fields are also published.
One volume of six issues is published annually.
