Research interests
Within this research regenerative outcomes of tooth grafts is investigated in an in vitro setting. Our main concern is to study regulation of regenerative cellular and molecular events following applying of tooth grafts in augmentaion procedures. This research involves a proteomic and genomic profileing of the dentin, with main foucus on TGF-beta signaling pathway and bone regeneration.
Techniques, methods & infrastructure
Cell culture (e.g.: fibroblasts from the gingiva and the periodontal ligament, dental pulp-derived cells, osteogenic cells, endothelial cells, and cell lines), osteoblastogenesis assays, osteoclastogenesis assays, qPCR, ELISA, western blot, immunohistochemistry
