- Abstract
The article presents a study which examined the KK-Periome database for transcripts of the development of periodontal ligament (PDL). PDL, a strong connective tissue which originated from dental follicle (DF) and possessed mesenchymal progenitors in the developing tooth germ. Since specific marker genes for PDL and DF are not yet available, the molecular mechanisms of PDL development are yet to be clarified. To identify such genes, a transcriptome database of the human PDL was established and was screened for specific genes expressed during PDL development.
