Effect of the main materials used in dental practice against the formation of bacterial dental plaque

Revista Cubana de Estomatología, 2015
Introduction: bacterial dental plaque and biofilms are formed in hard and soft dental tissue alike. They are the main cause of dental caries and periodontal disease in the patients affected.

Silver Nanoparticle‐Mediated Antiviral Efficacy against Enveloped Viruses: A Comprehensive Review

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad‐spectrum antiviral activity by targeting key viral structures and processes. They disrupt viral envelopes, compromising integrity, and bind to nucleocapsids, impairing viral replication. AgNPs also inhibit glycoprotein interactions, preventing viral attachment and entry into host cells.

Human sporadic breast carcinoma histotypes driven by the Human Betaretrovirus homologous to Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? While estrogens, obesity, and alcohol are recognized risk factors for breast cancer, a viral hypothesis has been suggested based on the murine model of Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV)‐induced mammary tumors. This study analyzed sequences of the human homolog of MMTV across human breast carcinoma histotypes, detecting the virus in all types

Efficacy of antimicrobial peptide P113 oral health care products on the reduction of oral bacteria number and dental plaque formation in a randomized clinical assessment

Journal of Dental Sciences
Background/purpose: Dental plaque is the main cause leading to the dental caries and periodontal diseases. The main purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of oral spray containing the antimicrobial peptide P-113 on the reduction of oral bacteria ...

A mathematical model for smooth muscle cell phenotype switching in atherosclerotic plaque [PDF]

arXiv
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a fundamental role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques. SMCs may ingest lipids in a similar way to monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) in the plaque. This can stimulate SMCs to undergo a phenotypic switch towards a macrophage-like phenotype.

Illuminating Immunity: A Systematic Review of Immune Cell Autofluorescence

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immunophenotyping provides valuable prognostic and diagnostic information, but is technically complex and expensive. The assessment of autofluorescence is label‐free and provides complex information on cell identity. However, research on its application to immunophenotyping has been heterogenous.

The Efficacy of Video‐Supported Student Self‐Assessment in Dental Simulation Training – A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Self‐assessment is a higher‐level ability required of health care practitioners, but rarely specifically taught in simulation environments. Retrospective evaluation of videos from simulated clinical environments could be useful for developing self‐assessment proficiencies. Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate the
