Innate Immune Response of Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Fibroblasts and Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Periodontopathogens

<div>Viability and proliferation of hPLFs, hESC-Fib, and hESC-MSCs. (a) Morphology of control and treated groups after 48 hours of bacterial challenge. (b) Viability and proliferation of cells assessed by MTS assay after exposure to<i> P. gingivalis</i> (Pg) and two different serotypes of<i> A. actinomycetemcomitans</i> (Aa serotypes b and c) for 24 and 48 hours. Scale bar: 200 <i>µ</i>m.</div>
