Immune Tolerance in the Oral Mucosa [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 The oral mucosa is a site of intense immune activity, where a large variety of immune cells meet to provide a first line of defense against pathogenic organisms.

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 ...

Phenotype and Tissue Residency of Lymphocytes in the Murine Oral Mucosa [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 The oral mucosa is a critical barrier tissue that harbors a series of distinct immune cell subsets. Immune surveillance in the oral mucosa is important for both local and systemic immunity because the oral cavity is a heavily utilized route of pathogen ...

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.

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 ...

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.
