Paraneoplastic pemphigus involved oral mucosa only: a case report and literature review [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineParaneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a rare and potentially fatal autoimmune disease that primarily affects the mucocutaneous tissues. Here we present the clinical features of a patient with the lichenoid variant of PNP involving the oral mucosa only.

Biomechanics of oral mucosa [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2015 The prevalence of prosthodontic treatment has been well recognized, and the need is continuously increasing with the ageing population. While the oral mucosa plays a critical role in the treatment outcome, the associated biomechanics is not yet fully ...

PERMEABILITY OF ORAL MUCOSA [PDF]
British Medical Bulletin, 1975 In discussing permeability, we are describing one of the fundamental barrier functions of oral mucosa. Despite assumptions to the contrary, the oral mucosa is not a uniformly, highly permeable tissue like gut, but shows regional variation. The keratinized areas, such as gingiva and hard palate, are least permeable and nonkeratinized lining areas are ...

Armed to the Teeth—The Oral Mucosa Immunity System and Microbiota
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 The oral cavity is inhabited by a wide spectrum of microbial species, and their colonization is mostly based on commensalism. These microbes are part of the normal oral flora, but there are also opportunistic species that can cause oral and systemic ...

An Overview of Physical, Microbiological and Immune Barriers of Oral Mucosa
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 The oral mucosa, which is the lining tissue of the oral cavity, is a gateway to the body and it offers first-line protection against potential pathogens, exogenous chemicals, airborne allergens, etc.

The Bigger Picture: Why Oral Mucosa Heals Better Than Skin
Biomolecules, 2021 Wound healing is an essential process to restore tissue integrity after trauma. Large skin wounds such as burns often heal with hypertrophic scarring and contractures, resulting in disfigurements and reduced joint mobility.

In vitro three-dimensional organotypic culture models of the oral mucosa
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 2021 Three-dimensional, organotypic models of the oral mucosa have been developed to study a wide variety of phenomena occurring in the oral cavity. Although a number of models have been developed in academic research labs, only a few models have been ...
