Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the levels of immature and mature dendritic cells, mast cells, and blood vessels in healthy versus diseased gum tissues of both adults and elderly individuals.* -
- Results showed no significant differences in immune cell expressions across varying gum health statuses, but elderly patients had more immature dendritic cells in diseased tissues compared to adults.* -
- The findings suggest unique immunoinflammatory responses in the elderly, indicating potential therapeutic targets for managing periodontal disease in older adults.*
