1. Monocyte and Neutrophil Inflammatory Responses to the Periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
2. Novel methods for diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease
Sammanfattning : Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition affecting tooth-supportive structures, the periodontium. Gingival tissues respond to biofilm formation by initiating an inflammatory process. LÄS MER
3. Modulaton of gene expression in human aortic smooth muscle cells by Porphyromonas gingivalis : a possible association between periodontitis and atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
4. Development of novel tools for prevention and diagnosis of Porphyromonas gingivalis infection and periodontitis
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
5. Development of novel tools for prevention and diagnosis of Porphyromonas gingivalis infection and periodontitis
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
