Advantages

Significantly reduced expression of CXCL8, CXCL1, CXCL2, and CCL2 in gingival fibroblasts

Lowered phosphorylation of ERK and JNK without affecting cell viability

Greatly diminished forced chemokine expression in HSC2 oral squamous epithelial cells

DMF-enriched gellan gum hydrogels significantly reduced forced chemokine expression in gingival fibroblasts in coculture
