Abstract Background: The sublingual mucosa has been used for many years to apply allergenic extracts for the purpose of specific immunotherapy (IT). Although sublingual IT (SLIT) is both safe and efficacious, the density of antigen-presenting cells is higher in other regions of the oral cavity and vestibule, which make them a potentially desirable target for IT. Objective: To present the concept ...

16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing has now been a well-established method. Due to its low cost, shorter cycle and low quality requirement of the sample, 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing is widely used in the study of microorganisms. 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing reveals the species of microorganisms in environmental samples and their differences, relative abundance, population structure and ...

The Use of Microbiome Sequencing in Cancer Research A growing body of evidence now suggests that human microbial dysbiosis has a crucial role in cancer development and progression. Unlike earlier studies relying on culturing bacteria from the tissue of cancer, high-throughput sequencing methods have enabled genotyping the microbial ecosystem within cancer tissue from hundreds to thousands of ...

The Direct Link between Bacterial Plaque, Bad Breath, and Dental problems Bad breath or halitosis, dental decay, periodontal disease, and gingivitis are all caused by the anaerobic bacteria that live in the mouth. Anaerobic means living in the absence of air. These types of bacteria are mostly pathological. Bad breath is the odor produced by bacteria living off food particles, each other and ...

In the early 20th century, humans discovered vitamins, and then trace elements and minerals. It was only in the mid-1980s that humans realized the importance of enzymes. Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine Arthur Kornberg said: "For our lives, we can no longer find other substances as important as enzymes in nature." Enzymes control the entire body, and when enzymes function abnormally is ...

In a new study, researchers from the National Institute of Dental Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) have found that blocking the function of a coagulation protein prevents bone loss caused by periodontal (gingival) disease in mice. According to animal and human data, they found that the accumulation of this clotting protein called fibrin triggers an excessive immune response that damages the gingiva ...

The clinical presentation of COVID-19-related illness ranges from asymptomatic to mild respiratory symptoms resembling influenza infection to acute symptoms including pneumonia requiring hospitalization and admission to the intensive care unit. COVID-19 starts in the upper airways and lungs, but in severe cases can also affect the heart, blood vessels, brain, liver, kidneys, and intestines. ...

Quality control of hair, skin, and dentalcare products continues to increase in importance for producers. Aside from safeguarding our health, it is equally important to avoid the sale of out-of-specification products. Product recalls are very expensive and have a lasting effect on a company’s reputation. Therefore, intensive testing of these different care products is essential before ...
