African ape carpal morphology is not too specialized to represent the ancestral hominin carpus

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Knuckle walking is one hypothesized behavior of the Pan‐Homo last common ancestor. We analyzed carpal morphology, including Euclidean distances between behavioral pairs, to investigate whether the carpals of knuckle‐walking taxa appear relatively specialized.

Hepatitis B virus in silvery gibbons (Hylobates moloch) [PDF]

, 2004
This research investigated a number of issues regarding hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the silvery gibbon (Hylobates moloch). Due to the relatively recent discovery of the virus in nonhuman primate populations, specific knowledge of the biological behaviour ...

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.

Soft‐Tissue Integration of Dental Implants: Formation, Maintenance, and Relevance for Peri‐Implant Health

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Sixty years after the introduction of dental implants, it is clear that soft‐tissue integration is as essential as osseointegration. This review outlines how peri‐implant soft tissues develop, protect, and sometimes fail, revealing key knowledge gaps and new opportunities to improve long‐term implant stability.

Periodontitis and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes: Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to describe mechanisms linking periodontal diseases in pregnancy with adverse pregnancy outcomes. ABSTRACT Periodontal diseases, including both gingivitis and periodontitis, occur commonly among pregnant individuals. Both gingivitis and periodontitis are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) such as early ...

Targeting Orexin 2 Receptors in Idiopathic Hypersomnia and Narcolepsy: A Randomised Phase 1b Proof‐Of‐Concept Study of Alixorexton

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Orexin 2 receptor agonists have demonstrated that targeting the orexin system may address symptoms of central disorders of hypersomnolence. Results of this phase 1 study support the phase 2 clinical evaluation of oral alixorexton in patients with IH, NT2 and NT1.
