A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF WOUND HEALING OF TWO COMMERCIAL ACELLULAR DERMAL MATRICES: AN IN VIVO STUDY Couto, Sophie Rose (2020-03-17)The overall objective of this study was to compare, in vivo, the wound healing and remodeling of two commercial acellular dermal matrices used for gingival augmentation in periodontal surgical procedures. The aims were to ...

Beltran, Stacy Renay (2014-04-14)Human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) produce TNF-α-stimulated gene/ protein 6 (TSG-6). TSG-6, a hyluronan (HA)-binding protein, has been associated with the negative regulation of inflammatory tissue ...
-
Wang, Ke (2019-07-29)The osteon (Haversian system) is the basic structural and functional unit of cortical bones in human and many other large mammals like dogs and cows. Different from mouse cortical bones consisting of uniform lamellar bones, ...
-
Richert, Jordan Chay (2016-04-29)Gingival recession is defined as a mucogingival deformity in which the marginal soft tissues are positioned apical to cemento-enamel junction, with concomitant loss of attached gingiva and exposure of root surfaces. Surgical ...

Ibrahim, Isra (2015-04-23)Understanding the molecular events in palate development is a prerequisite to more effective treatments of cleft palate. The secondary palate in humans and mice forms from shelves of mesenchyme covered with medial edge ...
-
Lin, Shuxian (2014-05-06)DMP1, dentin matrix protein 1, was cloned from a rat dentin cDNA library 20 years ago. Initially, this non-collagenous matrix protein was thought to be dentin specific and gained little interest in other scientific communities ...

Serrano, Maria Juliana (2015-04-23)Cleft palate (CP) is one of the most common birth defects. It may not be life threatening but many functions, such as feeding, digestion, speech, middle-ear ventilation, hearing, respiration, and facial and dental development, ...

Stinson, Crystal Pearl (2017-05-18)Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN), a chronic pain condition resulting from Herpes Zoster (HZ), is reported by females 3.75 times more often than men. Investigating the role of estradiol in thalamic gene expression, neuronal ...

McLean-Holden, Anne Caitlin (2020-07-21)Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a complex biologic process by which epithelial cells lose their cytomorphologic characteristics and assume the phenotype of mesenchymal cells. EMT is essential to normal human ...
-
Bonds, John Carless (2014-08-06)Congenital tooth agenesis is the most common developmental anomaly in man. More severe forms of tooth agenesis (> 5 missing teeth) demand lengthy and expensive treatment approaches such as bone augmentation surgeries and ...
-
Chang, Bei (2020-07-15)Regeneration of functional dentin remains challenging in regenerative dentistry since it requires a precise control of odontoblast polarization and differentiation. Both biophysical and biochemical factors have been proposed ...
-
Ukaegbu, Kelechi Elizabeth (2023-05-10)Prolonged inflammation and oxidative stress are deleterious to periodontal healing. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents have increasingly been researched and used to promote efficient healing. This in vivo study ...
-
Liang, Tian (2018-08-02)Dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) is abundantly expressed by odontoblasts, and transiently expressed by ameloblasts. The mutations in DSPP gene can cause dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI) type II (DGI-II) and III (DGI-III), ...
-
Ren, Yinshi (2015-05-06)For many centuries, the osteoblast is considered to be responsible for bone formation. It is also believed that an imbalance of osteoblasts (weak) and osteoclasts (strong) is the main cause for bone diseases such as ...
