IGFBP5 and dental follicle stem cell research — a concise look at a lab-to-model study exploring a new regenerative approach for periodontitis.

IGFBP5 Overexpression Reduces Dental Follicle Stem Cell Senescence in the Treatment of Periodontitis
Key Takeaways
  • IGFBP5 expression falls in replicative and H2O2-induced senescent dental follicle stem cells.
  • IGFBP5 overexpression reduced cellular senescence and enhanced osteogenic potential in DFSCs.
  • A nanoparticle-embedded hydrogel delivering IGFBP5-overexpressing DFSCs improved periodontal regeneration in a rat model.
