Potentials of bone marrow cells-derived from naïve or diabetic mice in autoimmune type 1 diabetes: immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti hyperglycemic, and antioxidative.

Background: The scarcity of transplanted human islet tissue and the requirement for immunosuppressive drugs to prevent the rejection of allogeneic grafts have hindered the treatment of autoimmune type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) through islet transplantation. However, there is hope in adoptively transferred bone marrow cells (BMCs) therapy, which has emerged as a propitious pathway for forthcoming medications. BMCs have the potential to significantly impact both replacement and regenerative therapies for a range of disorders, including diabetes mellitus, and have demonstrated anti-diabetic effects.

Clinical and microbiological efficacy of intra-pocket application of diode laser in grade C periodontitis: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Periodontitis is a microbially induced disease destroying structures anchoring teeth to jaw bones. Although metronidazole in combination with spiramycin is the effective conventional treatment of stage III grade C periodontitis, it has several systemic side effects. Laser therapy is widely used nowadays as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) to modulate inflammatory host response and eradicate microbes, due to bactericidal and detoxifying effects.
