2. 1. Monocyte and Neutrophil Inflammatory Responses to the Periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis

   Author : Kartheyaene Jayaprakash; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Allan Sirsjö; Hazem Khalaf; Anders Johansson; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Monocytes; Neutrophils; Porphyromonas gingivalis; Gingipains; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

   Abstract : Periodontitis is one of the most common adult infections. Duing bacteremia in healthy individuals or patients with chronic periodontitis, a number of oral bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis encounter inflammatory cells in the blood eg. platelets, neutrophils and monocytes.

4. 2. Novel methods for diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease

   Author : Anna Svärd; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Tülay Lindberg; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Periodontitis; inflammation; Porphyromonas gingivalis; gingipains; biosensing; gold nanoparticles; antimicrobial treatment; NC8;

   Abstract : Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition affecting tooth-supportive structures, the periodontium. Gingival tissues respond to biofilm formation by initiating an inflammatory process. READ MORE

5. 3. Modulaton of gene expression in human aortic smooth muscle cells by Porphyromonas gingivalis : a possible association between periodontitis and atherosclerosis

   Author : Boxi Zhang; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Allan Sirsjö; Hazem Khalaf; Julia Davies; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microarray; Angiopoietin; Smooth muscle cells; TNF; Periodontitis; Atherosclerosis; Porphyromonas gingivalis; Cancer; Inflammasome; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

   Abstract : Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative, rod-shaped, and anaerobic bacterium that is involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. P. gingivalis produces a variety of virulence factors including gingipains and fimbriae. READ MORE

6. 4. Development of novel tools for prevention and diagnosis of Porphyromonas gingivalis infection and periodontitis

   Author : Sravya Sowdamini Nakka; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Hazem Khalaf; Fariba Nayeri; Johanna Lönn; Tülay Lindberg; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Periodontitis; Porphyromonas gingivalis; anti-P. gingivalis antibodies; surface plasmon resonance; PLNC8 αβ; proliferation; growth factors.; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

   Abstract : Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by exaggerated host immune responses to dysregulated microbiota in dental biofilms leading to degradation of tissues and alveolar bone loss. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major periodontal pathogen and expresses several potent virulence factors. READ MORE

7. 5. Development of novel tools for prevention and diagnosis of Porphyromonas gingivalis infection and periodontitis

   Author : Sravya Sowdamini Nakka; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

   Abstract : Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease causing inflammation and destruction of tooth-supporting structures eventually leading to tooth loss. Periodontitis is induced by different subgingival microorganisms in combination with an excessive and dysregulated immune-inflammatory response against this microbial challenge. READ MORE
