TGM2 Aggravates Acute Pancreatitis by Impairing Macrophage Efferocytosis Through Inhibition of the STAT6–GAS6 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows TGM2 is upregulated in AP, impairing macrophage efferocytosis by inhibiting the STAT6–GAS6 axis. The lactoferrin‐modified, ROS‐responsive LF‐LNP@si‐TGM2 targets pancreatic macrophages, silences TGM2, restores the axis, and alleviates AP.

Hepatocyte BDNF Acts as a Novel Immune Checkpoint to Restrain TLR4‐Mediated Acute Hepatitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies hepatocyte‐derived BDNF as an endogenous TLR4 antagonist that alleviates acute hepatitis. BDNF is downregulated in hepatocytes via REST‐mediated transcriptional repression during ALI/ALF. Mechanistically, BDNF binds to TLR4 on macrophages to suppress inflammation.

Designing Scalable Mechano‐Virucidal Nanostructured Acrylic Surfaces for Enhanced Viral Inactivation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Can a surface be designed to physically break viruses? This study explores how nanoscale geometry—specifically the spacing of tiny pillars—can determine whether viruses remain intact or rupture. Using flexible acrylic and a scalable fabrication process, the authors develop nanopillared, transparent surfaces that show strong antiviral activity without ...

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.

Knowledge of Dental Caries, Oral Hygiene Practices, and Barriers to Accessing Dental Care Among the Patients Attending Endodontic Treatment for Carious Permanent Molar Teeth at Restorative Unit, National Dental Hospital, Sri Lanka

Journal of Liaquat National Hospital
Background Dental caries is the most common dental health problem caused by bacteria interacting on the tooth surface. It is a public health burden in Sri Lanka, with a prevalence of 91.5% among 35–44-year-olds. Objective This study aims to assess the knowledge of dental caries, oral hygiene practices, and barriers to accessing dental care among the ...

Integrating Human Intestinal Organoids into FDA'S New Approach Methodologies for Drug Discovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Illustration summarizes how human intestinal organoids (HIOs) are becoming transformative in preclinical research. Preclinical drug discovery pipelines often rely on animal models for ADMET studies, even though interspecies ADME gaps, poor external validity, and high attrition rates are common.

Esthetic-functional recovery of permanent posterior tooth using autogenous biological restoration

Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2012
Occlusal morphology and difficult access for cleaning permanent molars result in the buildup of bacterial plaque and the development of caries. One method known as biological restoration was carried out.

Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,
