Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP 2) are growth factors (GFs) identified within the dentine-pulp complex and involved into the cellular events connected to the pulp-healing response. It is well established that the expression of these GFs is increased in different tissues in diabetes mellitus. Because there are no data concerning the levels of VEGF and BMP 2 in human dental pulp, the aim of present study was to quantify VEGF and BMP 2 levels in intact dental pulp and dental pulp that underwent reactive dentinogenesis in healthy and diabetic human subjects.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 May 2012.
All research outputs
#22,759,802
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Endodontics
#2,011
of 2,291 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#159,639
of 175,433 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Endodontics
#11
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,291 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 175,433 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
