Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide affects oral epithelial connections via pyroptosis
Background/purpose: Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death dependent on the activation of caspase-1. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a major pathogenic bacterium in periodontitis and its lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can trigger ...

Chronic periodontitis elevates circulating CRP, which enters the hippocampus to upregulate BMP4 in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), thereby impairing neurogenesis and inducing anxiety/depression‐like behaviors in rats. Counteracting this pathway, CRP deficiency helps confer functional resilience to OPCs.

ABSTRACT Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease initiated and sustained by plaque microorganisms and host immune response, remains an intractable oral disease and a leading cause of tooth loss worldwide. Traditional mechanical debridement and adjunctive antibiotic or antiseptic therapy often shows limited efficacy due to the complex anatomical ...

Wear of human teeth: a tribological perspective [PDF]
The four main types of wear in teeth are attrition (enamel-on-enamel contact), abrasion (wear due to abrasive particles in food or toothpaste), abfraction (cracking in enamel and subsequent material loss), and erosion (chemical decomposition of the tooth)

Grancalcin (GCA), a myeloid‐derived protein, is enriched in gingival tissues of periodontitis patients and mouse models. Through interactions with CD44 and activation of MYH9, GCA promotes NF‐κB signaling and exacerbates periodontal inflammation and bone loss.

Identifying and improving students' mental models of tooth decay [PDF]
The aims of this study were to identify the initial mental models of tooth decay among a sample of 15-16 year-old Spanish students, and then to analyse changes in these models following the students’ participation in a teaching sequence on this topic ...

Advances in mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium-mediated periodontal tissue regeneration
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to the destruction of both soft and hard periodontal tissues. Complete periodontal regeneration in clinics using the currently available treatment approaches is still a challenge.

The AAA+ ATPase Valosin‐containing protein (VCP/p97) regulates protein homeostasis by unfolding ubiquitinated substrates. Here, we describe UTE‐156, a novel irreversible covalent inhibitor that modifies Cys522 in the D2 ATPase motor domain. Although its pharmacochemical limitations preclude immediate therapeutic use, UTE‐156 serves as a valuable ...
