Fig. 6From: N-acetylcysteine regulates dental follicle stem cell osteogenesis and alveolar bone repair via ROS scavengingSchematic diagram of the proposed mechanism. NAC triggered PI3K/AKT signaling pathway that resulted in the reduction of ROS, leading to the enhancement of DFSC properties, NAC-treated DFSCs or NAC facilitated alveolar bone repair in the tooth extraction socket, created with BioRender.comBack to article page
