Understanding the function of oral mucosal epithelial barriers is essential for a plethora of
research fields such as tumor biology, inflammation and infection diseases, microbiomics …

Undifferentiated, highly proliferative, clonogenic, and self-renewing dental stem cells have
paved the way for novel approaches to mending cleft palates, rebuilding lost jawbone and …

Objective The aim of this study is to detect pyroptosis in macrophages stimulated with
Porphyromonas gingivalis and elucidate the mechanism by which P. gingivalis induces …

IL-6 affects tissue protective/reparative and inflammatory properties of vascular endothelial
cells (ECs). This cytokine can signal to cells through classic and trans-signaling …

miRNAs are major regulators of eukaryotic gene expression and host immunity, and play an
important role in the inflammation-mediated pathways in periodontal disease (PD) …

Epithelial cells line mucosal surfaces such as in the gingival crevice and provide a barrier to
the ingress of colonizing microorganisms. However, epithelial cells are more than a passive …

Periodontitis is a multi‐etiologic infection characterized clinically by pathologic loss of the
periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Herpesviruses and specific bacterial species are …

Metabolism and immune responses are two fundamental biological processes that serve to
protect hosts from viral infection. As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses have evolved …

Aim To evaluate human and herpesvirus‐encoded micro RNA (mi RNA) expression in
healthy and diseased gingiva of obese and non‐obese subjects and compare the impact of …

This study examined the oral epithelial immunotranscriptome response patterns modulated
by oral bacterial planktonic or biofilm challenge. We assessed gene expression patterns …
