Foreign Materials in Gingival Lesions

A cell signaling–based elastic net (csEN) analysis identifies systemic immune signaling features associated with chronic periodontitis (ChP). (A) We adapted a previously implemented cell signaling–based penalization matrix for the csEN analysis that accounted for whether a cell type– and receptor-specific signaling response to each stimulation condition is supported by prior knowledge of signal transduction pathways. (B) (Left panel) The csEN identified immune signaling features that differentiate samples f
