Structure of junctional epithelium is maintained by cell populations supplied from multiple stem cells

Abstract The junctional epithelium (JE) is an epithelial component that attaches directly to the tooth surface and performs the unique function of protecting against bacterial infections; its destruction causes inflammation of the periodontal tissue and loss of alveolar bone. A recent study that use...
