Enterococcus faecalis immunoregulates osteoclastogenesis of macrophages
Experimental Cell Research, 2018 Persistent apical periodontitis (PAP) is characterized by refractory inflammation and progressive bone destruction. Enterococcus faecalis infection is considered an important etiological factor for the development of PAP, although the exact mechanisms remain unknown. This study aimed at investigating the role of E.
