The Landscape of Protein Biomarkers Proposed for Periodontal Disease: Markers with Functional Meaning

Periodontal disease (PD) is characterized by a deregulated inflammatory response which fails to resolve, activating bone resorption. The identification of the proteomes associated with PD has fuelled biomarker proposals; nevertheless, many questions remain. Biomarker selection should favour molecule...
