Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola are periodontal pathogens that express virulence factors associated with the pathogenesis of periodontitis. In this paper we tested the hypothesis that P. gingivalis and T. denticola are synergistic in terms of virulence; using a model of mixed microbial infection in rats.

This graphical abstract illustrates the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) across the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutics of periodontal and peri‐implant diseases. Microbial and host stimuli trigger MMP activation leading to extracellular matrix breakdown, point‐of‐care aMMP‐8 detection aids diagnosis, and adjunctive or AI‐assisted ...

Oral SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection and Risk for Long Covid
ABSTRACT SARS‐CoV‐2 is an oral pathogen that infects and replicates in mucosal and salivary epithelial cells, contributing to oral post‐acute sequelae COVID‐19 (PASC) and other oral and non‐oral pathologies. While pre‐existing inflammatory oral diseases provides a conducive environment for the virus, acute infection and persistence of SARS‐CoV‐2 can ...

Non‐canonical amino acid bioincorporation into antimicrobial peptides and its challenges
Bioincorporation of non‐canonical amino acids (ncAAs) as a method of integration into antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is an emerging field geared towards developing solid‐phase synthesis as a green, cheaper, and scalable alternative for commercialisation of AMPs.

Ecological, beneficial, and pathogenic functions of the Type 9 Secretion System
This mini review delves into the broad spectrum of proteins secreted by the bacterial type 9 secretion system (T9SS). It focuses on the roles of T9SS‐secreted proteins in pathogenesis, bacterial interactions, host colonization, and the maintenance of ecosystem health.

Abstract COVID‐19 as a pan‐epidemic is waning but there it is imperative to understand virus interaction with oral tissues and oral inflammatory diseases. We review periodontal disease (PD), a common inflammatory oral disease, as a driver of COVID‐19 and oral post‐acute‐sequelae conditions (PASC). Oral PASC identifies with PD, loss of teeth, dysgeusia,
