Article Synopsis
- CX3CL1 is a chemokine involved in disease processes but its role in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) was previously unclear.
- The study utilized various laboratory techniques to explore how CX3CL1 affects macrophage behavior and cell death in human nucleus pulposus cells.
- Findings indicated that CX3CL1 promotes an anti-inflammatory response, reducing apoptosis in HNPCs and suggesting that targeting the CX3CL1/CX3CR1 pathway could be a potential treatment for IDD.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to introduce a new method for quantitative testing of endodontic leakage.
Study Design: Eighty straight maxillary anterior teeth were divided randomly into 3 experimental groups of 20 samples each and 2 control groups. The experimental groups were prepared using the modified double-flared technique and obturated by lateral compaction of cold gutta-percha with Pulp Canal Sealer EWT, Sealapex, or AH Plus sealer.
