Isolation of Streptococcus mutans temperate bacteriophage with broad killing activity to S. mutans clinical isolates [PDF]
Isolation of Streptococcus mutans temperate bacteriophage with broad killing activity to S. mutans clinical isolatesjournal article Bacteriophages are expected to be therapeutic agents against infectious diseases. Streptococcus mutans are involved in dental plaque formation related to dental caries and periodontitis. In S. mutans, lytic bacteriophages have been isolated previously, but the isolation of temperate bacteriophage has not been reported although their ...

Inflammation‐Regeneration Axis of Dental Pulp Stem Cells: Wnt/NF‐κB Crosstalk
International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 9, Page 1743-1759, September 2026.ABSTRACT Background Inflammation critically determines dental pulp regenerative outcomes, with dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) orchestrating tissue homeostasis through differentiation, self‐renewal and immunomodulation processes dynamically regulated by Wnt/β‐catenin and NF‐κB signaling crosstalk.
