Members of the genus Thermococcus, sulfur-reducing hyperthermophilic archaea, are
ubiquitously present in various deep-sea hydrothermal vent systems and are considered to play a …

Large-scale gene sequencing studies for complex traits have the potential to identify causal
genes with therapeutic implications. We performed gene-based association testing of blood …

Autosomal genetic analyses of blood lipids have yielded key insights for coronary heart
disease (CHD). However, X chromosome genetic variation is understudied for blood lipids in …

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of particulate dentin-plaster of Paris with and without platelet-rich

(DBP) alone or combined in a mixture with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) used to enhance …

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a collection of diverse inherited disorders featuring dental-enamel
defects in the absence of significant nondental symptoms. AI phenotypes vary and …

Background: This study investigated the existence of interdental papillae at certain distances
from the contact point to the alveolar crest, depending on the interproximal distance …

Background Dentin hypersensitivity is a relatively common pain symptom caused by evaporative,
chemical, thermal, tactile, or osmotic stimuli. Despite its high prevalence, many aspects …

The differentiation of odontoblasts is initiated by the organization of differentiating
ameloblasts during tooth formation. However, the exact roles of ameloblast-derived factors in …

Reparative dentin has a wide variety of manifestations ranging from a regular, tubular form to
an irregular, atubular form. However, the characteristics of reparative dentin have not been …
