Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Localized Periodontitis in Young Individuals: Aggregatibacter JP2 Clone, Immunological Dysfunctions and Other Stories

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review describes the features of grade C molar‐incisor pattern periodontitis and discusses the role of A. actinomycetemcomitans in its pathogenesis and why molars and incisors are preferably affected. Possible future studies on this aggressive disease in primary and permanent dentition and emerging omics techniques for diagnosis and management are

Periodontitis as a Model for Inflammatory Uncoupling of Bone Remodeling

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Periodontitis can be viewed as a state of inflammatory uncoupling of bone remodeling, in which excessive osteoclast‐mediated resorption coexists with impaired bone formation. This review integrates emerging insights from osteoimmunology, osteocyte biology, mechanobiology, aging, and resolution pathways to position periodontitis as an accessible in vivo

Dysregulation of neuroprotective lipoxin pathway in astrocytes in response to cytokines and ocular hypertension​

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
Glaucoma leads to vision loss due to retinal ganglion cell death. Astrocyte reactivity contributes to neurodegeneration. Our recent study found that lipoxin B4 (LXB4), produced by retinal astrocytes, has direct neuroprotective actions on retinal ganglion

Pharmacological effects of specialized pro-resolving mediators in sepsis-induced organ dysfunction: a narrative review

Frontiers in Immunology
Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome of organ dysfunction, characterized by uncontrolled inflammatory response and immune dysregulation, often leading to multiple organ failure and even death.

Mystery and misery of locally‐delivered drug therapy in periodontics. Historical concepts and current state

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The primary objective is to critically analyze approaches to local therapy for periodontal disease, particularly in light of its well‐established systemic implications. We specifically address common misconceptions and overestimations regarding the potential of local treatments in contrast to their actual clinical effectiveness.

Emerging locally delivered antimicrobial and immunomodulatory approaches for the prevention/treatment of peri‐implant diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implant diseases are dysbiosis‐mediated inflammatory disorders that occur in susceptible hosts. Antimicrobials and immunomodulatory agents therefore might be pertinent as adjunctive measures in the treatment of such disorders. The aim of this narrative review was to examine the existing evidence and assess the effectiveness of emerging ...

Lipoxin Mimetics and the Resolution of Inflammation

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2023
Inflammation and its timely resolution are critical to ensure effective host defense and appropriate tissue repair after injury and or infection. Chronic, unresolved inflammation typifies many prevalent pathologies. The key mediators that initiate and drive the inflammatory response are well defined and targeted by conventional anti-inflammatory ...

Age-dependent relevance of endogenous 5-lipoxygenase derivatives in anxiety-like behavior in mice.

PLoS ONE, 2014
When 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) is inhibited, roughly half of the CNS effect of the prototypic endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA) is lost. Therefore, we decided to investigate whether inhibiting this enzyme would influence physiological functions classically ...

Host Lipid Mediators in Leprosy: The Hypothesized Contributions to Pathogenesis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The spectrum of clinical forms observed in leprosy and its pathogenesis are dictated by the host’s immune response against Mycobacterium leprae, the etiological agent of leprosy.
