Abstract
The present study aims to investigate whether treatment of periodontal ligament cells with low potential for osteo/cementogenic differentiation (LOP-hPDL cells) with human recombinant IL-6 protein (rhIL-6) could enhance the maturation capacity of these cells in this phenotype. Primary cultures of ten hPDL populations will be established. Based on Alizarin Red assay (AR-S), these populatio…
