Effect of proteoglycans at interfaces as related to location, architecture, and mechanical cues
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Covalently bound functional GAGs orchestrate tissue mechanics through time-dependent characteristics.
OBJECTIVE: The role of specific glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) at the ligament-cementum and cementum-dentin interfaces within a human periodontal complex were examined. Matrix swelling and resistance to compression under health and modeled diseased states was investigated.
