Saliva Liquid Biopsy for Detection of Oral and Systemic Diseases
This Review summarizes and discusses the biological foundations and major classes of salivary biomarkers, outlines collection methods and analytical protocols for saliva‐based liquid biopsy, and technological convergences driven by multi‐omics approaches, artificial intelligence, and point‐of‐care devices in the application of oral and systemic ...

AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...

Inhibitory Effect of Elastase on the Glomerular Capillary Basement Membrane Thickening of the Experimental Congenital Diabetic Mice (N.S.Y. Mice) [PDF]
1981-03Elastase is an elastin lytic enzyme that inhibits the deposition of fat on arterial walls and suppresses fat buildup. The changes in the renal glomerular basement membrane were observed over 30days of elastase administration in N. Y. S.

Antibiotic‐mediated immune modulation in periodontitis
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Although initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, its progression is largely driven by the host's uncontrolled inflammatory response. While antibiotics have conventionally been employed in periodontitis therapy for their antimicrobial ...
