[Research progress on the expression and function of erythropoietin-producing hepatomocellular receptors and their receptor-interacting proteins in oral-related diseases].

Erythropoietin-producing hepatomocellular receptors and their receptor-interacting proteins (Eph/ephrin) can participate in the regulation of growth and development and promote the development of diseases through short-distance signal transduction between cells. To study the mechanism of Eph/ephrin and oral-related diseases, we provided a new theoretical basis and a strategy for the treatment of oral diseases. The Eph/ephrin pathway has been used to regulate oral diseases, especially in periodontal disease prevention, orthodontic bone reconstruction, and biological treatment of oral tumors. This paper reviews the research progress of Eph/ephrin pathway in oral-related diseases.
