Hyaluronic acid: A novel approach in regenerative/reconstructive periodontal therapy?

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although hyaluronic acid (HA) has long been used for many medical applications, only in recent years has it gained greater popularity in the field of periodontics because of its biological effects during wound healing. Even today, most clinicians are not aware that more than one type of HA exists and that the extent of its ...

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

Evaluation of the Cutaneous Immunological Milieu Before and After Treatment With Meglumine Antimoniate in Dogs Naturally Affected by Leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Background: Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is a zoonotic disease of variable severity. The typical immune response is driven by an exaggerated humoral immune response. Protective immunity is mediated by pro‐inflammatory cytokines that enhance macrophage leishmanicidal activity. Objective: To evaluate the cutaneous and the systemic immune responses as well

The Silent Link: Exploring the Impact of Periodontal Diseases on Head and Neck Carcinogenesis

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Oral dysbiosis can accelerate the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) by fostering a pro‐inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and metabolically altered environment. This narrative review examines the relationships between periodontitis‐associated bacteria and HNSCC, focusing on their impact on oncogenic pathways,

Targeting Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Spike Fusion Machinery With Antiviral Peptides: In Silico Exploration of the Heptad Repeat 2 Domain

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Griffithsin, Brevinin‐2, and CCL20 were identified as potent MERS‐CoV fusion inhibitor candidates targeting the HR2 domain through integrated molecular docking, MD simulations, and MM/PBSA analyses. These peptides demonstrated superior binding stability and favorable safety profiles compared to the standard inhibitor, supporting their potential as ...

Immune endotypes in tuberculosis: Keys to decoding disease complexity

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 6, Page 670-693, June 2026.
Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, with multi‐drug antibiotic regimens as the current standard of care. While effective at killing Mycobacterium tuberculosis, these treatments do not resolve persistent inflammation, prevent lung damage, or reverse immune dysregulation that contribute to poor outcomes and disease ...

The abundance of pollen coat small signaling proteins shows limited convergence between independent selfing transitions in Arabidopsis and Capsella

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3460-3474, June 2026.
Summary In plants, a key example of convergence is the repeated evolution of floral traits associated with the transition from outcrossing to self‐fertilization, often resulting in the ‘selfing syndrome’ (e.g. reduced flower size and loss of scent). However, potentially overlooked changes concern the pollen coat, which plays a role in different aspects

Structural Characterization, β‐Cyclodextrin Polymer Interaction, and Biological Assessment of the N‐Terminal Peptide from the RPD‐1 Big Defensin of Ruditapes p hilippinarum

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2026.
Defensins are a large and ancient family of host–defence peptides present across vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants, where they play a crucial role in innate immunity. Among them, big defensins represent a structurally distinctive subfamily characterized by a hydrophobic N‐terminal domain and a cysteine‐rich C‐terminal β‐defensin‐like domain. Here,

Systemic Propagation of STING Signalling via Generation of Large Extracellular Vesicles

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Large extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from tumour cells play important roles in tumour formation and progression. However, it remains unclear why malignant cells produce these EVs and how they act in vivo. We employ a well‐characterized Drosophila tumour model and demonstrate that large EV biogenesis from malignant cells is an ...

Comparative diagnostic accuracy of next‐generation sequencing in different specimen types for periprosthetic joint infection: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1725-1739, May 2026.
This meta‐analysis suggests that NGS of sonicate fluid demonstrates higher sensitivity compared to NGS of synovial fluid or periprosthetic tissue, while maintaining strong specificity, making it valuable for detecting infection. Periprosthetic tissue NGS demonstrated exceptional specificity and acceptable sensitivity, making it valuable for confirming ...
