Fluid transport from the dental pulp revisited.
Berggreen, Ellen; Wiig, Helge; Virtej, Anca (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-10)In the dental pulp surrounded by rigid dentinal walls, an increase in fluid volume will be followed by a rapid increase in interstitial fluid pressure. To maintain pressure homeostasis, a fluid drainage system is required. ... -
Human gingival epithelial cells stimulate proliferation, migration, and tube formation of lymphatic endothelial cells in vitro
Indrelid, Stine Hufthammer; Dongre, Harsh Nitin; Nunes, Ivana Pereira; Virtej, Anca; Bletsa, Athanasia; Berggreen, Ellen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the response of gingival epithelial cells to microbial and inflammatory signals. Background The gingival epithelial barrier provides the first line of defense and ... -
Interstitial fluid drainage from rat apical area takes place via vessels in the mandibular canal.
Virtej, Anca; Tenstad, Olav; Wiig, Helge; Berggreen, Ellen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)We sought to investigate the transport route for protein‐rich fluid from the apical area towards the draining lymph nodes. The first mandibular molar root canals in 24 female Wistar rats were instrumented and filled with ... -
Vascular endothelial growth factors and receptors - from normal dental pulp to apical pathology
Virtej, Anca (Doctoral thesis, 2016-02-12)The VEGFs -A, -B, -C, -D are important signaling molecules with pivotal implication in the growth of blood and lymphatic vessels, the so-called angio- and lymphangiogenesis. They exert their activities by binding to their ...
