Article Synopsis
- The study explores how age-related changes in neurotransmission, vasculogenesis, and osteogenesis affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), focusing on senescence-accelerated prone 8 (SAMP8) mice.
- Researchers compared early aging SAMP8 mice (24 weeks old) to control SAMR1 mice (12 and 24 weeks old) to analyze gene and protein expression related to TMJ changes.
- Findings reveal significantly higher levels of CGRP and VEGF-A mRNA expression in SAMP8 mice, suggesting increased activity in the bony mandibular condyle associated with aging.
