1. Cellular and molecular responses of periodontal connective tissue cells to Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans cytolethal distending toxin
Abstract : Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is present in elevated proportions and numbers in dental bacterial biofilms of patients with localized aggressive periodontitis. This variant of periodontal disease, occurring in adolescents and young adults, is characterized by rapid and severe destruction of the connective tissues and bone supporting the teeth, eventually culminating in tooth loss.

2. The Biological Role of the Female Sex Hormone Estrogen in the Periodontium
Abstract : Introduktion: Flera studier har påpekat att det kan finnas ett samband mellan förändringar i nivån av kvinnligt könshormon och förvärrad tandlossning. Hur östrogen påverkar tandfästet är inte kartlagt. Det finns två östrogenreceptorer (ER), ERα och ERβ och betydelsen av de båda receptorerna är inte kartlagda. READ MORE

3. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells and injections of microRNA as therapeutics for nervous system repair
Abstract : Traumatic injuries to the spinal cord (SCI) and peripheral nerve (PNI) affect several thousand people worldwide every year. At present, there is no effective treatment for SCI and despite continuous improvements in microsurgical reconstructive techniques for PNI, many patients are still left with permanent, devastating neurological dysfunction.

4. Experimental studies on effects of orthodontic forces in generation of immune responses : possible roles for immunoregulating molecules in the control of alveolar bone remodeling
Abstract : The transformation of orthodontic forces to periodontal tissues involves several biological mechanisms, which ultimately result in bone remodelling. It has been suggested that the immune system plays a role in the regulation of bone remodelling through production of immune mediators by inflammatory cells that have migrated from dilated periodontal ligament capillaries after the application of orthodontic force.

5. Studies on myeloid cell functions in periodontitis
Abstract : Periodontitis (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of the tooth supporting tissues; gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Myeloid cells, including monocytes and macrophages, play a crucial part in the inflammatory host response by clearing pathogens and producing a vast array of inflammatory mediators. READ MORE
