Low-intensity Pulsed Ultrasound regulates osteoclasts mitochondrial function in the treatment of diabetic periodontitis.
Periodontitis and type ? diabetes mellitus (T2D) have emerged as prevalent global chronic diseases, with a bidirectional relationship existing between them.  Individuals with periodontitis and T2D are susceptible to tooth loss, primarily attributed to alveolar bone resorption resulting from excessive osteoclasts (OC) differentiation.  Although low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is an established treatment method for bone-related conditions, its mechanism of action on OC remains unclear.  The aim of this research is to examine the effects and mechanism of on OC within a diabetic inflammatory environment.  In summary, our data explored how LIPUS affects OC in the inflammatory environment of diabetes. Overall design: The gene expression of db/db OC was compared using RNA sequencing in inflammatory settings, with or without LIPUS treatment.
