The Role of Viruses in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis
This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the presence and potential pathogenic role of viruses in periodontitis. Design: Narrative Review; Population: Patients with periodontitis; Exposure: Detection of viruses in oral samples (biopsies, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, subgingival plaque, blood); Outcome: Viral prevalence, load ...

Periodontitis and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes: Mechanistic Evidence
This narrative review aims to describe mechanisms linking periodontal diseases in pregnancy with adverse pregnancy outcomes. ABSTRACT Periodontal diseases, including both gingivitis and periodontitis, occur commonly among pregnant individuals. Both gingivitis and periodontitis are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) such as early ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

A run of consecutive fast‐translated codons (right) within the first 30 codons of lacZ (top) causes loss of the downstream transcript at positions coinciding with previously mapped intragenic Rho‐dependent termination sites (middle), and a corresponding loss of β‐galactosidase activity (bottom).

Archaeal Genes Code for GGDEF Domain Proteins With Diguanylate Cyclase Activity
A biofilm‐like mode of growth is hypothesized to be required for the emergence of cellular life. Occurrence of common biofilm gene products in current Bacteria and Archaea is an indication for their previous presence in the last universal common ancestor LUCA and perhaps even in the first universal common ancestor FUCA.

MinJ is a nine‐pass transmembrane protein with a cytoplasmic PDZ domain. The PDZ domain, while required for division, is dispensable for localization, and deletion of the transmembrane segments 6 and 7 results in a hyper‐minicell phenotype. ABSTRACT The Min system disassembles FtsZ‐rings after septation in Bacillus subtilis and is localized to the ...
