Tooth-shaped plasmonic waveguide filters with nanometeric sizes [PDF]
Opt. Lett. 33, 2874-2876 (2008), 2009 A novel nanometeric plasmonic filter in a tooth-shaped Metal-Insulator-Metal waveguide is proposed and demonstrated numerically. An analytic model based on the scattering matrix method is given. The result reveals that the single tooth-shaped filter has a wavelength filtering characteristic and an ultra-compact size in the length of a few hundred ...

Dietary nitrate supplementation prevents radiotherapy-induced xerostomia
eLife, 2021 Management of salivary gland hypofunction caused by irradiation (IR) therapy for head and neck cancer remains lack of effective treatments. Salivary glands, especially the parotid gland, actively uptake dietary nitrate and secrete it into saliva.

Advances of exosomes in periodontitis treatment
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2022 Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease initiated by dysbiosis of the local microbial community. Periodontitis can result in destruction of tooth-supporting tissue; however, overactivation of the host immune response is the main reason for alveolar bone
