Hyaluronan (HA) is an extremely large polysaccharide (glycosaminoglycan) involved in many
cellular functions. HA catabolism is thought to involve the initial cleavage of extracellular …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS)
on the cell proliferation and growth of synovial membrane cells stimulated with …

Background We investigated the effects of dental infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg),
an important periodontal pathogen, on NASH progression, by feeding mice a high fat diet …

Background Epidemiological studies have revealed a link between dental infection and
preterm birth or low birth weight (PTB/LBW), however, the underlying mechanisms remain …

Astrocytes, one of the predominant types of glial cells, function as both supportive and
metabolic cells for the brain. Under cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced oxidative conditions, …

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) suppresses synovial hyperplasia and synovial cell
proliferation characterized for rheumatoid arthritis, but the molecular mechanisms remain …

Background Lactoferrin (LF), a member of the transferrin family, recently has been demonstrated
to have anticancer effects on various cancers including oral squamous cell carcinoma (…

Lactoferrin (LF) is an important modulator of the immune response and inflammation. It has
also been implicated in the regulation of bone tissue. In our previous study we demonstrated …

OBJECTIVE: It has been shown that ultrasound stimulation accelerates repair of orthodontically
induced root resorption. However, the mechanism of such adaptive change is still unclear…

Root resorption is an adverse outcome of orthodontic tooth movement. However, there have
been no available approaches for the protection and repair of root resorption. The aim of …
