Project Title: Sexual Dimorphism in Periapical Inflammation and Bone Loss from MAP Kinase Phosphatase-1 Deficient Mice Project Description: Mitogen Activating Protein (MAPK) kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) has been shown to be a key negative regulator of the MAP kinase pathways of the innate immune system. The impact of MKP-1 in an endodontic model has yet to be studied. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the role of MKP-1 in a bacterial-driven model of pathological endodontic bone loss.
