Expression of neurotrophic factors and cell adhesion molecules in human. DPSCs (A) Expression of the neurotrophic factors Ngf, Bdnf, Nt3, Nt4/5, their receptors TrkB, TrkC, and the co---receptor p75 in the human DPSCs. 10% samples were loaded for internal control actin (B) Cellular localization of BDNF, its receptor TrkB, and co---receptor p75 in DPSCs (C) ELISA of the secreted BDNF from DPSCs in the culture medium (n = 5) (D) immunofluorescent staining and (E) Western blotting of integrin a5, integrin b1 a

Foreign Materials in Gingival Lesions

A cell signaling–based elastic net (csEN) analysis identifies systemic immune signaling features associated with chronic periodontitis (ChP). (A) We adapted a previously implemented cell signaling–based penalization matrix for the csEN analysis that accounted for whether a cell type– and receptor-specific signaling response to each stimulation condition is supported by prior knowledge of signal transduction pathways. (B) (Left panel) The csEN identified immune signaling features that differentiate samples f
