Periodontal gene transfer by ultrasound and nano/microbubbles.

30 Oct 2009 A non-viral gene delivery approach with nano/microbubbles and ultrasound offers opportunities for targeting soft tissues for gene therapy. The periodontium is a complex structure comprised of hard (cementum, alveolar bone) and soft tissues ... Read more...

Expression and regulation of the NALP3 inflammasome complex in periodontal diseases.

30 Aug 2009 Periodontitis is an infectious process characterized by inflammation affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major oral bacterial species implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Processing of ... Read more...

Acceleration of purine degradation by periodontal diseases.

30 Aug 2009 Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, are characterized by bacterial plaque accumulation around the gingival crevice and the subsequent inflammation and destruction of host tissues. To test the hypothesis that cellular ... Read more...
