KeywordsOsteoimmunology, bone remodelling, osteoclastogenesis, osteogenesis, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1), receptor activator of nuclear factor factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL), macrophages, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), osteogenic differentiation, infection, inflammation, bone loss, apical periodontitis. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), together with its receptor, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1), acts as a regulator of both the immune response and bone remodelling processes and, therefore, plays a vital role in osteoimmunology.
