Studies suggested that cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) is expressed in bone tissue and it plays a positive role in osteogenesis. However, whether CB2 could enhance bone formation and blood supply in GC-induced ONFH remains unknown. In this study, we focu…
Open article record in new tab ↗The aim of the present study was to explore the potential mechanism underlying the involvement of CB2 in osteoporosis. Micro-CT was utilized to examine femur bone architecture. Also, real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were utilized to detect the effect of 2-AG on the expression of CB2 and Notch, or the interaction between CB2 and Notch 2. 2-AG treatment up-regulated BMD, Tb.Sp and SMI in OVX mice, whereas pro…
Open article record in new tab ↗Periapical periodontitis results from pulpal infection leading to pulpal necrosis and resorption of periapical bone. The current treatment is root canal therapy, which attempts to eliminate infection and necrotic tissue. But, in some cases periapical inflammation doesn't resolve even after treatment. Resolvins belongs to a large family of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators that actively resolves inflammatio…
