Antibiotic‐mediated immune modulation in periodontitis
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Although initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, its progression is largely driven by the host's uncontrolled inflammatory response. While antibiotics have conventionally been employed in periodontitis therapy for their antimicrobial ...

The role of neutrophils in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel diseases
Abstract Objectives Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses a spectrum of chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, with a potential bidirectional relationship with periodontitis. Neutrophils are key regulators of immune‐inflammatory responses and play a major role in both diseases.

GRKs and arrestins: Nomenclature and functions in GPCR‐dependent and ‐independent signalling
G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) and arrestins play a critical role in the regulation of GPCR signalling. Historic names of mammalian GRKs were replaced by systematic ones in the 1990s; however, both kinds of names are currently in use for mammalian arrestins.

A low concentration of Tacrolimus/semifluorinated alkane (SFA) eyedrop suppresses intraocular inflammation in experimental models of uveitis [PDF]
PURPOSE: Corticosteroids remain the mainstay therapy for uveitis, a major cause of blindness in the working age population. However, a substantial number of patients cannot benefit from the therapy due to steroids resistance or intolerance.

Tuberculous Endophthalmitis With Phthisis Bulbi: A Diagnostic Delay Case Report
ABSTRACT Tuberculous endophthalmitis should be prioritized in differential diagnosis for unexplained endophthalmitis in TB‐endemic regions; early systemic evaluation, timely pars plana vitrectomy, and adjunctive corticosteroids are crucial to prevent phthisis bulbi, though evidence for some interventions remains limited.
