NUAK2 Inhibition Enhances Macromolecular Drug Delivery in a 3D Fibrotic Model of the Pancreatic Tumor Microenvironment

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Using a 3D cell culture model of the fibrotic barrier in pancreatic cancer, this work shows that inhibiting NUAK2 kinase in pancreatic stellate cells enhances macromolecular drug delivery. Mechanistically, NUAK2 inhibition disrupted actin stress fiber assembly to downregulate collagen I expression, thus enhancing macromolecular permeability.

Visualization of oral function during playing a wind instrument by a lateral dental impression: a proof-of-concept investigation

open access: yesFrontiers in Oral Health
Embouchure describes the interaction of the teeth, lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and surrounding muscles when playing woodwind and brass instruments. In dental practice, impression material is used to capture the oral structure and function. In this proof-

Multimaterial Triphasic Scaffold Replicates Enthesis Microenvironment to Modulate Early Cell Responses

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired triphasic scaffold integrating 3D printed polycaprolactone and electrospun poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) is developed to replicate the organization of the tendon‐to‐bone enthesis. Cyclic mechanical stimulation induces spatially defined cell morphology and lineage‐related gene expression in human mesenchymal stem cells, highlighting the ...

Human Leukocyte Elastase Triggered Nanoparticles for Targeted Antimicrobial Delivery and Oral Microbial Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This study explores enzyme‐responsive nanoparticles for targeted antimicrobial release in inflamed oral environments. Nanoparticles formed by complexing peptides and chlorhexidine respond to human leukocyte elastase and release chlorhexidine selectively. P7 (ECAAPVCE)‐based formulations show optimal properties and stability, with antimicrobial activity

Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Bleeding Management Following Tooth Extractions—A Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesDentistry Journal
The aim of the present study was to assess the occurrence of intra-, peri-, and post-operative bleeding following tooth extractions in patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Consecutive patients requiring at least one dental extraction

Injectable Bone Cements: A Generational Framework for Bioactivity, Porosity, and Mechanobiological Design at the Nanoscale

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Key demographic, biological, and material considerations that drive the need for advanced injectable bone cement technologies. Injectable bone cements (IBCs) are widely used in orthopaedic and craniofacial applications due to their minimally invasive delivery and ability to provide early mechanical stabilisation.

Preemptive oral analgesia with steroidal and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in periodontal surgery: a systematic review

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
Introduction: Periodontal procedures can promote prolonged intense pain, particularly in clinical situations requiring surgical procedures. In this context, preemptive analgesia has also been assessed for its utility in controlling post-operative pain ...
