- Title
Autophagy in the dentin‐pulp complex against inflammation.
- Authors
Zhang, L.; Chen, Z.
- Abstract
The dentin‐pulp complex is a highly specialized tissue for protecting the dental pulp. Odontoblasts are long‐lived, hard‐tissue‐forming cells in the dentin‐pulp complex and critically involved in inflammatory responses against invading pathogens. Autophagy is a highly conserved homeostasis mechanism of living cells under various stress conditions. Growing evidence in the literature addresses the role of autophagy in odontoblast differentiation and aging. This review summarizes the current knowledge about autophagy for the dentin‐pulp complex in resisting inflammation.
