Yes-Associated Protein-Mediated Melatonin Regulates the Function of Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells Under Oxidative Stress Conditions

BACKGROUNDHuman periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) regenerate oral tissue. In vitro expansion causes replicative senescence in stem cells. This causes intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, which can impair stem cel
