3.2 Destruction of periodontal soft tissues The integrity and function of PDLFs, essential for softtissue homeostasis, are compromised by ferroptosis through a twofold assault on collagen: synthesis is reduced because PDLF viability and activity are impaired, while degradation is accelerated by ferroptosisassociated ROS and proinflammatory mediators ( in vitro primary cell models, indicate that ferroptosis in periodontal ligament fibroblasts serves as an active driver of soft tissue destruction
Processes under astrocyte control including glutamatergic signaling (Beaul et al., 2009) are regulated through the molecular clock, and in addition, extracellular glutamate displays rhythmicity, peaking during the mid-late day (inactive period) in mice
