Bioinformatics analysis reveals shared gene signatures and molecular mechanisms between periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis in the context of aging
Objective The interplay between periodontitis (PD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is well recognized, with aging being a central risk factor for both. However, the shared aging-related molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to identify common aging-related hub genes linking PD and RA and elucidate their underlyin...
