Establishment of an MRI‐Based Diagnostic Approach to Identify Critical Pulpal Inflammation Zones in a Rat Caries‐Derived Pulpitis Model

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 1664-1679, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To establish a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based diagnostic approach for identifying ‘critical pulpal inflammation’ zones in a rat model of caries‐derived pulpitis. Methodology Caries‐derived pulpitis was induced in the molars of Sprague–Dawley rats using the caries‐derived pulpitis model.

GcrR in Streptococcus mutans Inhibits the Morphological Transition of Candida albicans Through Ras1–cAMP/PKA Pathway in the Cross‐Kingdom Biofilms

Molecular Oral Microbiology, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 188-200, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The dual‐species biofilms formed by Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans exhibit enhanced cariogenic potential due to the production of extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs). The response regulator GcrR in S. mutans negatively regulates EPS synthesis, but its impact on dual‐species biofilms remains unclear.

Investigation of Substrate Specificity in 5‐Keto‐4‐Deoxy‐Glucarate Dehydratase and 2‐Keto‐3‐Deoxy‐L‐Arabinonate Dehydratase

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
5‐Keto‐4‐deoxy glucarate dehydratase and 2‐keto‐3‐deoxy‐L‐arabinonate dehydratase share many similarities like structure, reaction mechanism, and their generated product, but exhibit very high substrate specificity. Here, we explore the evolutionary development of this specificity in the context of the enzyme superfamily and attempt to find promiscuous

The type II-A CRISPR-Cas system of streptococcus mutans : characterisation of bacteriophage-insensitive mutan(t)s

, 2021
Bacteria are exposed to the constant threat of viral predation. To defend themselves, bacteria have developed a wide variety of different mechanisms. One of these mechanisms is CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats), an adaptive immune mechanism found in approximately 45% of bacteria.

Efficacy of tannic acid and tannic acid-fluoride on Streptococcus mutans and gingival fibroblast cell viability

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST)
The objective of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of tannic acid (TA) and tannic acid-fluoride (TF) against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and gingival fibroblast viability.
