“If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience.”

Failure to process dentin sialophosphoprotein into fragments leads to periodontal defects in mice
In this study, we analyzed the periodontal tissues from transgenic mice expressing the uncleavable full?length DSPP in the Dspp knockout (Dspp?KO) background (named ‘Dspp?KO/D452A?Tg mice’), in comparison with those from wild?type mice, Dspp?KO mice, and mice expressing the normal Dspp transgene in the Dspp?KO background (designated ‘Dspp?KO/normal?Tg mice’). We found that transgenic expression of the normal DSPP fully rescued the periodontal defects of the Dspp?KO mice, whereas this was not the case in Dspp?KO/D452A?Tg mice. These results indicate that proteolytic processing of DSPP is essential to periodontal integrity. (Source: European Journal of Oral Sciences)
