Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Metabolic Reprogramming and GM‐CSF Secretion in Areca Nut‐Activated Fibroblasts Drive Oral Precancer Progression

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Oral cancer, with a rising global incidence and poor prognosis, is associated with areca nut use in South and Southeast Asia. In this study, we addressed the effects of areca nut extract (ANE) on oral carcinogenesis by modulating fibroblast behavior in oral tissue.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Biomaterial Physical Cues as Gene Regulators for Cellular Agriculture

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
This review elucidates how biomaterial physical cues—ranging from matrix stiffness to remote electromagnetic fields—serve as extrinsic regulators of gene expression in cellular agriculture. By identifying central mechanotransduction pathways that bridge physical inputs to genetic remodeling, the authors propose the “Material Genome” concept: a ...

Extracellular Vesicles of Streptococcus anginosus Mediate Gastritis via Epithelial Barrier Disruption and Macrophage‐driven Inflammation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
Streptococcus anginosus extracellular vesicles (SA‐EVs) accumulate in gastric tissue, disrupt epithelial tight junctions, and induce gastritis characterized by neutrophil infiltration and elevated cytokines (TNF‐α, IL‐6, IL‐17A). Proteomics identifies TMPC and FBP62 as key SA‐EVs virulence factors; their genetic deletion attenuates inflammation ...

The Potential Functions and Beneficial Effects of Melatonin on Cognitive Impairment, Neuroinflammation, Blood–Brain Barrier Leakage, and Synaptic Dysfunction in the Offspring of Mice Exposed to Gestational Intermittent Hypoxia

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Melatonin rescues the cognitive deficits induced by gestational intermittent hypoxia exposure in male offspring mice, and these results were associated with neuroinflammation, BBB integrity, and alterations in synaptic function. ABSTRACT Introduction Gestational intermittent hypoxia (GIH), which serves as a model for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is ...

Modulation of transendothelial permeability and expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters in cultured brain capillary endothelial cells by astrocytic factors and cell-culture conditions [PDF]

, 2018
Confluent cell monolayers of brain capillary endothelial cells (BCEC) are used widely as an in vitro cell culture model of the blood-brain barrier. The present study describes the influence of cell-culture conditions on tight junctions, filamentous-actin

Periodontitis and extracellular vesicles: Emerging roles in inflammation, tissue destruction and systemic crosstalk

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Extracellular vesicles released from periodontal tissues and pathogens mediate local inflammation and disseminate systemically via the circulation. By transporting regulatory microRNAs and inflammatory cytokines, these vesicles link periodontitis to systemic inflammatory conditions and represent emerging targets for minimally invasive diagnostics and ...
