Abstract
Objective: The function of apoptosis and its regulation in odontoblasts remain unclear. In this study, we characterize the possible role of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 in the induction of apoptosis and the molecular mechanisms that mediate TGF-beta 1-induced apoptosis in odontoblasts.
