Article Synopsis
- The study examines the importance of the biological seal at the dental implant-tissue interface, particularly focusing on laminin 332 as a protein that enhances this seal.
- A special treatment was applied to titanium implant surfaces to facilitate the attachment of laminin 332, followed by experimentation with human keratinocyte cells to evaluate their response.
- Results indicated that laminin 332 improved the implant's surface properties and promoted cell viability and growth factor expression, suggesting it could enhance the biocompatibility of dental implants.
has been reported to be an endothelial cell inflammatory response inducer that can lead to endothelial dysfunction processes related to atherosclerosis; however, these studies have been carried out in vitro in cell culture models on two-dimensional (2D) plastic surfaces that do not simulate the natural environment where pathology develops. This work aimed to evaluate the pro-inflammatory response of human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) to in a 3D cell culture model compared with a 2D cell culture. HCAECs were cultured for 7 days on type I collagen matrices in both cultures and were stimulated at an MOI of 1 or 100 with live W83 for 24 h.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is closely related as the causative agent of almost all cases of cervical cancer. Currently, there is no effective treatment for the persistence of HPV.

- Oral cancer (OC) is a complex disease influenced by factors like tobacco, alcohol, and HPV, and has a low survival rate after traditional treatments.
- Natural products have shown promising anti-tumor and chemopreventive properties, making them potential candidates for OC treatment.
- Many of these natural compounds can induce apoptosis and inhibit growth and spread of cancer cells, suggesting they may play a key role in future prevention and therapy for OC.
