Modelling of the Systemic Inflammatory Host Response in Relation to the Microbiome of the Endodontic Infection

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 58, Issue 12, Page 1926-1939, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to investigate systemic inflammatory responses in individuals with apical periodontitis (AP) compared to age‐matched healthy controls, using advanced multiway modelling techniques. We examined associations between inflammatory mediators, age, gender, symptomatic status, and the microbial composition and function to better ...

Streptococcus mutans Collagen‐Binding Protein Cnm Is a Multifunctional Adhesin: A Structural Investigation

Molecular Oral Microbiology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 265-277, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The collagen‐binding adhesin Cnm is a known virulence factor of Streptococcus mutans. It is present in specific serotypes (mostly e, f, and k strains) of S. mutans and belongs to the LPXTG family of cell wall‐anchored surface adhesins. Here, we report the crystal structure of the collagen‐binding N2 domain of S. mutans Cnm.
