Prognostic Value of Bcl‐xL in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is a heterogeneous disease with poor survival outcomes. Bcl‐xL regulates tumor cell survival and apoptosis and has been associated with metastasis and poor prognosis, although its overall role remains undeciphered.

The Role of Viruses in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the presence and potential pathogenic role of viruses in periodontitis. Design: Narrative Review; Population: Patients with periodontitis; Exposure: Detection of viruses in oral samples (biopsies, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, subgingival plaque, blood); Outcome: Viral prevalence, load ...

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Molecular analysis of Human Herpes Virus 8 and associated lesions

, 2019
This thesis looks at the bio-pathways of HHV8 through the transformation of endothelial cell lines. This was performed in two separate but mutually contributing experiments. First, endothelial cell lines were infected using purified HHV8 virus, which was obtained from cultured BC-3 cell lines, derived from an effusion lymphoma.

Bacteriophage P22 Virus‐Like Particles as Nanoscale Protein Scaffolds for Plant Synthetic Biology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advancing the utility of plant synthetic biology requires the continued development of protein engineering tools. Self‐assembling protein compartments, such as virus‐like particles (VLPs), provide versatile scaffolds for synthetic biology. However, few plant‐expressed VLPs have demonstrated broad amenability to protein engineering, restricting

Human Herpesvirus 8 Causes a Wide Spectrum of Disease in Liver Transplant Recipients and May be Donor Derived: Case Series and Systematic Review of an Emerging Challenge

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Among 135 cases of post‐liver transplant HHV8 disease (4 from NSW), presentations varied, and mortality was high (44%). Donor screening was rare, and donor‐derived infection was suspected in 33%. Survival improved with mTORi, reduced immunosuppression, chemotherapy, and, for non‐KS disease, donor screening. ABSTRACT Background Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8)
