Clinical assessment to screen for the detection of oral cavity cancer and potentially malignant disorders in apparently healthy adults [PDF]
Background: The early detection and excision of potentially malignant disorders (PMD) of the lip and oral cavity that require intervention may reduce malignant transformations (though will not totally eliminate malignancy occurring), or if malignancy is ...

Drug‐induced gingival overgrowth involves dysregulation of intracellular collagen degradation. The mechanisms that are involved in the regulation of lysosomal collagenolytic activity are poorly understood. Here, we focus on how cathepsins, Rabs, and V‐ATPases regulate intracellular collagen degradation and, in particular, the vesicular trafficking and ...

The PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway and Oral Diseases: A Bibliometric Analysis From 2008 to 2025
ABSTRACT Objectives The phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway is a key therapeutic target for oral diseases. This study uses bibliometric analysis to identify research trends, knowledge gaps, and the development of PI3K/AKT/mTOR‐targeted therapies.

Autophagy mediates oral submucous fibrosis
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic insidious disease of the oral mucosa, well-recognized as a premalignant condition and commonly found in Southern China. It is primarily caused by the habit of areca nut or gutkha chewing. OSF is believed to be a homeostatic disorder of the extracellular matrix and fibroblast proliferation.
