Early childhood caries (ECC) involves cariogenic persisters that evade antimicrobial treatment. Persisters achieve this by downregulating heat shock proteins (HSPs) and formation of protein aggregates. Ti3C2 MXene‐based photothermal therapy (PTT) acts as a “nanothermal knife,” disrupting membranes, upregulating HSPs, inhibits aggregates, prevents ...

A practical method for use in epidemiological studies on enamel hypomineralisation
With the development of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) judgment criteria, there has been increasing interest worldwide in investigation of the prevalence of demarcated opacities in tooth enamel substance, known as molar–incisor ...

E‐CAD: Electroactive Polymer‐Based Cardiac Assist Device with Low Power Consumption
Conventional cardiac assist devices often require high power, involve direct blood contact, and risk driveline infections. This work presents a soft electroactive polymer‐based system that compresses the heart externally while consuming <0.3 W. With no blood contact, a 0.3 mm driveline, and a compact design, E‐CAD demonstrates enhanced output and ...

Human hereditary enamel abnormalities – molecular factors and genetic counselling [PDF]
Defective enamel formation may result either from factors of environmental origin or from genetic abnormality. Such genetically determined enamel malformations have been described in patients with chromosomal anomalies and with inherited single gene ...

Amyloid-like ribbons of amelogenins in enamel mineralization
Enamel, the outermost layer of teeth, is an acellular mineralized tissue that cannot regenerate; the mature tissue is composed of high aspect ratio apatite nanocrystals organized into rods and inter-rod regions.
