Collagen is the main structural protein in vertebrates. It plays an essential role in providing a scaffold for cellular support and thereby affecting cell attachment, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Natural animal collagen and its recombinant collagen are favorable replacements in human tissue engineering due to their remarkable biomedical property. However, this ...
Chitin is the second largest natural polymer after cellulose, and it exists widely in nature, such as shells of crustaceans such as shrimps, crabs, insects, and cell walls of fungi. Although chitin has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, its poor solubility limits its practicality in the field of biomedicine. The product of chitin deacetylation is chitosan. Chitosan is structurally ...
There is a strong relationship between periodontal disease and oral cancer. In patients with tongue cancer, the periodontal disease preceded the tongue cancer. Although periodontal disease and oral cancers are both located in the mouth, until recently, there was never thought to be a connection between the two. New evidence is coming to light to show that those with periodontal disease increase ...
By not taking care of your teeth there is more on the line than tooth decay and periodontal disease – although that’s bad enough. Practicing good oral hygiene may be lifesaving according to a number of research studies.Studies show a connection between Gum disease and a 63% HIgher Pancreatic Cancer in Men The link between several systemic illnesses including diabetes, heart disease, ...
The Direct Link between Bacterial Plaque, Bad Breath, and Dental problems Bad breath or halitosis, dental decay, periodontal disease, and gingivitis are all caused by the anaerobic bacteria that live in the mouth. Anaerobic means living in the absence of air. These types of bacteria are mostly pathological. Bad breath is the odor produced by bacteria living off food particles, each other and ...
Dental Problems Linked To Heart Disease and Diabetes Over the last ten years there has been a growing body of evidence linking periodontal disease and systemic diseases. Every day new research is making the link stronger. Periodontal infection is the advanced stages of gum disease that causes bone loss. The bone loss is irreversible. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and with early ...
The Use of Microbiome Sequencing in Cancer Research A growing body of evidence now suggests that human microbial dysbiosis has a crucial role in cancer development and progression. Unlike earlier studies relying on culturing bacteria from the tissue of cancer, high-throughput sequencing methods have enabled genotyping the microbial ecosystem within cancer tissue from hundreds to thousands of ...
The use of lasers for periodontal treatment has become more complicated because the periodontium consists of both hard and soft tissues. Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy Dental plaque is known as the principal etiologic factor for the inflammatory periodontal disease; therefore, it is evident that treatment of the disease is dependent upon how much the plaque and its retentive factors are ...

In a new study, researchers from the National Institute of Dental Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) have found that blocking the function of a coagulation protein prevents bone loss caused by periodontal (gingival) disease in mice. According to animal and human data, they found that the accumulation of this clotting protein called fibrin triggers an excessive immune response that damages the gingiva ...

Many of the heparin dependent antibodies, including those with the IgG isotype, are asymptomatic, and only a subgroup of antibodies is positive in platelet activation assays. What differentiates pathogenic from asymptomatic antibodies is not fully understood, with the exception that there is some relationship between antibody concentration and occurrence of HIT, and that antibodies with the ...
