Background/purpose: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) exhibits receptor-mediated physiological effects by facilitating the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells toward the osteoblast lineage. This study aimed to determine the effect of S1P on odontogenic differentiation of mouse immortalized stem cells of dental apical papilla (iSCAP) and assess the distribution of the S1P receptor 1 (S1PR1) in the apical papilla and the root canal wall of immature rat molars.

Materials And Methods: Immunostaining for S1PR1 was conducted at the apex of the rat mandibular first molar and within the root canal wall.

Article Synopsis
  • Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is a commonly used, safe procedure for removing colorectal polyps, but it often results in unclear margins, which can complicate diagnosis and treatment decisions.
  • A study analyzed 572 polyps from 237 patients, finding that 41.4% had unclear margins, particularly at anatomical challenging areas (straddling folds, flexure points) and when performed by trainees.
  • The findings suggest that as trainees gain more experience, the rate of unclear margins may decrease, improving the safety and efficacy of CSP over time.
