The Role of Spirochetes in Periodontal Disease [PDF]

, 1988
The spirochetal accumulation in subgingival plaque appears to be a function of the clinical severity of periodontal disease. It is not known how many different spirochetal species colonize the plaque, but based upon size alone, there are small ...

Identification and functional characterisation of Complement Regulator Acquiring Surface Protein-1 of serum resistant Borrelia garinii OspA serotype 4 [PDF]

, 2010
Background: B. burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) is the etiological agent of Lyme borreliosis in humans. Spirochetes have adapted themselves to the human immune system in many distinct ways.

Dietary Baicalin Supplementation Can Enhance the Growth Performance of Weaned Piglets and Maintain the Intestinal Barrier Integrity

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This research innovatively illustrates baicalin’s multifaceted mechanisms in enhancing piglets’ intestinal health: modulating bile acid metabolism via probiotics, reinforcing tight junction proteins (ZO‐1/claudin), suppressing TLR4/NF‐κB‐mediated inflammation, whereas promoting growth and reducing diarrhea.

In vivo dual RNA-Seq uncovers key effectors of epithelial barrier disruption by an extracellular pathogen

Nature Communications
Disruption of host cell barriers is a fundamental strategy enabling pathogens to establish a paracellular infection. Here, using dual RNA-Seq, we determine the in vivo host-pathogen transcriptomic landscape upon infection by the extracellular pathogen ...
