Periostin plays role in force-induced stem cell potential by periodontal ligament stem cells.

This study suggests a proper magnitude of compressive force could be one important factor involved in the modulation of the pluripotency of PDLSCs through the action of periostin. The precise mechanism by which periostin regulates stemness requires further detailed investigation. PMID: 30761669 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
