Transcriptomic Identification and Validation of NDUFS2 in Acute Rat TMJ Synovitis and Its Functional Role in LPS-Induced Synovial Fibroblast Inflammation
Purpose: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) synovitis persistently drives TMJ osteoarthritis (TMJOA) progression. Aberrant reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation triggers chronic oxidative stress, amplifying synovial inflammation. This study aimed to identify candidate ROS-related genes through transcriptomic screening...
