Amelogenin Peptide Extract Increases Differentiation and Angiogenic and Local Factor Production and Inhibits Apoptosis in Human Osteoblasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Enamel matrix derivative (EMD), a decellularized porcine extracellular matrix (ECM), is used clinically in periodontal tissue regeneration. Amelogenin, EMD’s principal component, spontaneously assembles into nanospheres in vivo, forming an ECM complex ...

Biological definition of periodontal diseases: A historical review of host‐response diagnostics and their implications for disease classification

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Understanding periodontal diseases through a biological lens has been a central aim in periodontal research. Visionary pioneers in the field established the foundations of our knowledge, providing invaluable insights into disease mechanisms and progression.

A virtual approach to evaluate therapies for management of multiple myeloma induced bone disease: Modelling Therapies for Multiple Myeloma Induced Bone Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Multiple myeloma bone disease is devastating for patients and a major cause of morbidity. The disease leads to bone destruction by inhibiting osteoblast activity while stimulating osteoclast activity.

Role of Serum Osteoprotegerin as a Diagnostic Indicator of Primary Osteoporosis in Perimenopausal and Postmenopausal Women: An Indian Perspective

open access: yesMalaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2018
Introduction: Osteoporosis (OP) is a major health problem in the older population. The aim of the study was to assess the role of serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) as a diagnostic indicator of primary osteoporosis in peri- and post-menopausal women in an ...

Antibiotic‐mediated immune modulation in periodontitis

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Although initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, its progression is largely driven by the host's uncontrolled inflammatory response. While antibiotics have conventionally been employed in periodontitis therapy for their antimicrobial ...

Autoantibodies to Osteoprotegerin are Associated with Low Hip Bone Mineral Density and History of Fractures in Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Osteoporosis is a recognised complication of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and is thought to be due to functional impairment and the osteoclast-activating effects of proinflammatory cytokines.

Heparan Sulfate Regulates the Structure and Function of Osteoprotegerin in Osteoclastogenesis*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2016
Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a decoy receptor secreted by osteoblasts, is a major negative regulator of bone resorption. It functions by neutralizing the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL), which plays a central role in promoting ...
