<scp>IL</scp>‐22–expressing <scp>CD</scp>4⁺AhR⁺ T lymphocytes are associated with <scp>RANKL</scp>‐mediated alveolar bone resorption during experimental periodontitis

Abstract

This study demonstrates the increase of IL-22-expressing CD4⁺ AhR⁺ T lymphocytes in periodontitis-affected tissues and shows a positive correlation between IL-22, RANKL expression, and alveolar bone resorption.
