Punicalagin ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response in dental pulp cells via inhibition of the NF-κB/Wnt5a-ROR2 pathway

Introduction Punicalagin (PCG) is a major polyphenolic component with potent anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic, anti-cancer, and antioxidant activities. This study aimed to investigate the impact and underlying mechanisms of PCG on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced dental pulpitis.
