Managing Denture Biofilm Related Diseases, Tingxi Wu, Wenyuan Shi, Zvi G. Loewy, Xuesong He

Touro College of Pharmacy (New York) Publications and Research

The oral cavity harbors more than 700 microbial species and is one of the most complex ecosystems ever described. While the majority of these microbes are considered commensal, some of them are responsible for oral infectious diseases such as dental caries, periodontitis, halitosis and stomatitis. The advancement of modern science has greatly furthered our understanding of oral microbes and their roles in host health and disease. It has also led to the development of new tools for early detection, effective treatment, and prevention of oral microbial infections. This perspective provides a general understanding of oral microbiology, and its clinical relationship …

Role Of Wnt Signaling On Proliferation And Osteogenic Differentiation Of Stem Cells From Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth In Vitro, Panarat Rattanaworawipa

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth in vitro. Methods: Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) were stimulated with human recombinant Wnt3A at various concentrations (50, 100 and 200ng/ml) in basic growth medium and osteogenic medium. Cell proliferation was determined using colony forming unit assay. The mRNA expression levels of osteogenic-related genes were determined by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction. The osteogenic differentiation was evaluated using mineralization assays. Values were expressed as mean …
