Involvement of cytosolic phospholipase A2alpha in MMP-9 up-regulation.

30 Oct 2009 Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is important in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Cytosolic phospholipase A(2)alpha (cPLA(2)alpha) is involved in MMP-9 up-regulation in human monocytes. We tested the hypothesis that cPLA(2)alpha also regulates ... Read more...

Microbial interactions influence inflammatory host cell responses.

30 Oct 2009 The inflammatory response plays an important role in the tissue destruction associated with periodontitis. Bacterial species can regulate the inflammatory responses of host cells, triggered by pathogens. It was hypothesized that, in the field of ... Read more...

Histatins enhance wound closure with oral and non-oral cells.

30 Aug 2009 The role of human saliva in oral wound-healing has never been fully elucidated. We previously demonstrated that parotid-salivary histatins enhance in vitro wound closure. The question remains whether other salivary-gland secretions enhance wound ... Read more...
