Fibroblast derived C3 promotes the progression of experimental periodontitis through macrophage M1 polarization and osteoclast differentiation

Abstract Complement C3 plays a critical role in periodontitis. However, its source, role and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In our study, by analyzing single-cell sequencing data from mouse model of periodontitis, we identified that C3 is primarily derived from periodontal fibroblasts. Subseq...
