Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Oral mucosa is exposed by various stimuli including thermal, mechanical or chemical stimuli in food and drink. Because of that, it is susceptible to injure but is known to heal faster compared with the skin. As the temperature in the oral cavity is higher than on the skin, we explore the effect of thermosensitive ion channel, TRPV3 (transient receptor potential vanilloid channel) on the wound healing processes. Since we found delayed wound healing in the TRPV3 gene deleted mice, TRPV3 is suggested to be important molecule in the oral wound healing processes.
