Quercetin restrains TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition by inhibiting Twist1 and regulating E-cadherin expression.

abstract：:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gaseous signaling molecule produced by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), influences bone remodeling in many ways. Osteoclasts play an important role in bone remodeling during tooth movement induced by mechanical loading, which increases the rate of tooth movement...
