ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the North Carolina Index (NCI) for identifying dentin type (sclerotic vs. nonsclerotic) in natural noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Materials and Methods Thirty extracted human premolars with 30 NCCLs (90 regions of interest) were analyzed. Two blinded,

Phage Therapy: Targeting the Gut Microbiota for the Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis
ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common clinical inflammatory condition whose severity is closely associated with both local pancreatic injury and systemic complications. Research indicates that gut microbiota dysbiosis and subsequent bacterial translocation can exacerbate disease progression via the gut–pancreas axis, representing a critical ...

Abstract Background Microscopic colitis (MC) is an inflammatory disease of the colon. Although there is a known association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), evidence linking MC and PSC remains scarce. We aimed to investigate the bidirectional association between MC and PSC.

RXR Gamma Enables Oligodendrocyte Differentiation by Suppressing Sonic Hedgehog Signaling
Using pharmacogenetic approaches, Baldassarro et al. demonstrate that RXRγ suppresses the SHH signaling pathway in OPCs to ensure their efficient differentiation following T3 stimulation. Accordingly, Rxrg−/− OPCs displayed compromised differentiation which was normalized by the pharmacological inhibition of the hyperactive SHH pathway.
