In addition to apoptosis, necroptosis also plays critical roles in pathological changes in mandibular cartilage after compressive mechanical force stimulation, implying RIP1, a master protein that mediates both necroptosis and apoptosis, as a potential therapeutic target in temporal mandibular osteoarthritis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
