Signalling pathways in the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells
Liuyu Ru, Bo‐Wen Pan, Jiwei Zheng
Abstract
Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) have multidirectional differentiation potential and self-renewal abilities and are important seed cells for the regenerative repair of periodontal tissues. In recent years, many studies have identified multiple signalling pathways involved in regulating the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs in an inflammatory environment. In this article, we review the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs in an inflammatory environment in terms of signalling pathways and provide new ideas for the regenerative treatment of periodontal tissues.
