Study of masticatory forces of complete denture wearers.

open access: yesTHE JOURNAL OF THE STOMATOLOGICAL SOCIETY,JAPAN, 1990
Bilateral balanced occlusion is believed to be one of the ideal types of occlusion for complete denture. However, there are still many obscure items about its function during mastication, considering that the occlusion is adjusted on the articulators under the no-food condition.

Unilateral mastication‐induced memory deficits linked to disrupted hippocampal cholesterol metabolism in rats

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Unilateral mastication, a common oral habit, induces cognitive decline in rats by disrupting hippocampal cholesterol metabolism. It triggers astrocyte hyperplasia, enhances cholesterol synthesis, impairs transport/degradation, and reduces 24‐hydroxycholesterol (24‐OHC), ultimately damaging synaptic function.

Piezo‐type mechanosensitive cation channel 1 in bone biomechanics and its multidimensional distribution characteristics in skeletal tissue

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
PIEZO1 is highly correlated with mechanical stimulation, controlling bone growth and remodeling, while showing specific distribution characteristics under distinct loads. Upon dialectical review, this manuscript proposes that PIEZO1 could serve as a target for osteoporosis and a quantitative indicator for monitoring bone health in real‐time.
