TL;DR: A single stem/progenitor cell population appears to differentiate into putative dentin/cementum, PDL, and alveolar bone complex by scaffold's biophysical properties and spatially released bioactive cues for integrated periodontium regeneration.

TL;DR: Recent work using novel biomaterial scaffolds and growth factors that orchestrate the homing of host endogenous cells represents a departure from traditional cell transplantation approaches and may accelerate clinical translation in regeneration endodontics.

TL;DR: This review synthesizes knowledge on many growth factors that are known or anticipated to be efficacious in dental pulp-dentin regeneration to show that growth factor delivery, without cell transplantation, can yield pulp- dentin-like tissues in vivo.

TL;DR: The PLLA miniplate system provides reliable stability when used for the fixation of mandibular condylar process fractures, and shows anatomic good reduction and long-term stability with the use of resorbable miniplates and screws.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PILSAP bound phosphatidylinositol-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) and removed 9 amino acids from its N-terminus, which allowed S6K to associate with PDK1 and PilsAP upon VEGF stimulation, and the introduction of a mutated PILS AP gene in ECs inhibited angiogenesis and retarded tumor growth in vivo.
