Global transcriptional response of oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines to health-associated oral bacteria - an in vitro study [PDF]
Background We have recently demonstrated that health-associated oral bacteria Streptococcus mitis, Neisseria flavescens, and Haemophilus parainfluenzae induce cytotoxicity in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines and downregulate CD36, a cancer ...

The Role of p66Shc in Diabetes: A Comprehensive Review from Bench to Bedside. [PDF]
It is well‐documented that diabetes is an inflammatory and oxidative disease, with an escalating global burden. Still, there is no definite treatment for diabetes or even prevention of its harmful complications. Therefore, understanding the molecular pathways associated with diabetes might help in finding a solution.

Nkx2.7 is a conserved regulator of craniofacial development [PDF]
Craniofacial malformations arise from developmental defects in the head, face, and neck with phenotypes such as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome illustrating a developmental link between cardiovascular and craniofacial morphogenesis.

Brain Renin-Angiotensin System: From Physiology to Pathology in Neuronal Complications Induced by SARS-CoV-2. [PDF]
Angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a key enzyme in the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), is expressed in various tissues and organs, including the central nervous system (CNS). The spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), the virus responsible for coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19), binds to ACE2, which raises ...

Pathophysiology of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). [PDF]
Abstract Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) is an autoimmune‐triggered chronic fibrosing disease that affects the skin and many other organs. Its pathophysiology is complex and involves an early endothelial damage, an inflammatory infiltrate and a resulting fibrotic reaction.

The Subchronic Toxic Effects of Mosla chinensis Maxim in Normal Rats. [PDF]
Background. The aim of this work was to study the toxic effects and target organs of Mosla chinensis Maxim (MCM) in rats and provide theoretical basis for clinical medication. Methods. The subchronic toxicity study was conducted on 60 male and female SD rats using the fixed‐dose method for the treatment groups and 20 male and female SD rats for the ...

Intercellular Genetic Interaction Between Irf6 and Twist1 during Craniofacial Development [PDF]
Interferon Regulatory Factor 6 (IRF6) and TWIST1 are transcription factors necessary for craniofacial development. Human genetic studies showed that mutations in IRF6 lead to cleft lip and palate and mandibular abnormalities.

Mesenchymal stem cells: A novel treatment option for primary sclerosing cholangitis
Abstract Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive liver disease for which there is no effective therapy. Hepatocytes and cholangiocytes from a PSC patient were cocultured with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to assess in vitro change. A single patient with progressive PSC was treated with 150 million MSCs via direct injection into the common
