Titanium implants have been extensively used in dentistry as a replacement of absent dental elements. The biocompatibility of a material depends on cellular response in contact with a surface. The microarray technology is a tool to obtain an overview of the cell state in terms of large-scale transcriptional expression in different situations. Thus, the objective of this investigation was to evaluate the transcriptional profile of osteoblastic cells from human alveolar bone cul...

Changes in the ability of self-renewal and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells may be affected by osteoporosis. The aim of this investigation was to compare the transcriptional profile of mRNAs and miRNAs of osteoblastic cells from calvaria and bone marrow of female rats after ovariectomy. Following the approval by ethics committee, 18 wistar rats were divided into control (sham) and ovariectomized groups. After 150 days, both groups were sacrificed to collect the femurs...
