Antimicrobial peptides and gut microbiota in homeostasis and pathology

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2013
We survive because we adapted to a world of microorganisms. All our epithelial surfaces participate in keeping up an effective barrier against microbes while not initiating ongoing inflammatory processes and risking collateral damage to the host.

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation and MM-PB/GBSA analysis for the inhibition of Klebsiella pneumoniae SHV-1 β-lactamase using antimicrobial peptides defensin VvK1 and snakin-1

Biomedical Analysis
This computational study aims to explore the inhibition property of two plant-derived AMPs (antimicrobial peptides), defensin VvK1 and snakin-1, against SHV-1 β-lactamase from Klebsiella pneumoniae by molecular docking, MDS (molecular dynamics simulation)

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

[Scorpion toxins and defensins].

Comptes rendus des seances de la Societe de biologie et de ses filiales, 1998
Les venins de scorpion contiennent un grand nombre de neurotoxines peptidiques qui constituent un ensemble de familles molécu­laires à haut degré de polymorphisme, mais qui ont en commun une architecture semblable. Cette architecture se retrouve dans des peptides antibactériens circulants de la famille des défensines, qui s'apparentent tout ...

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Inflammation and mechanical force‐induced bone remodeling

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodontitis arises from imbalanced host–microbe interactions, leading to dysbiosis and destructive inflammation. The host's innate and adaptive immune responses produce pro‐inflammatory mediators that stimulate destructive events, which cause loss of alveolar bone and connective tissue attachment.

Ideal soft tissue graft in periodontal and peri‐implant applications: A scoping review

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft tissue grafts (STG) are used in a wide range of clinical situations including volume augmentation, keratinized tissue increase, and recession coverage around teeth and implants. Each STG, produced from different sources and processed with various techniques, possesses unique material properties and interaction with the host tissues, which

Avian Eggshell Evolutionary Adaptations Inform Biomimetic Strategies for Next‑Generation Precision Cancer Theranostics

Advanced Oncology, Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The avian eggshell is a sophisticated, multi‐functional biocomposite and, more importantly, an autonomous life‐support system evolved to safeguard embryonic development across dynamic and hostile environments. Discussing eggshell‐inspired biomaterials beyond simple structural imitation, this review translates these evolutionary survival ...
