Dr. Parimal Samir works in the field of host-pathogen interactions. In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on how the manuscript entitled " gene synthesis by an antiviral reverse transcriptase" by Samuel Sternberg and colleagues made an impact by reminding him that there is still so much to discover in life sciences.

Materials And Methods: Thirty extracted mandibular premolars were randomly divided into three groups of ten. Each group was treated with one of the sealants - Embrace WetBond, Helioseal Clear, or Fuji VII.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different suturing methods in deep third molar extractions, focusing on various outcomes like healing and patient satisfaction.
- A total of 100 patients were randomly assigned to four suturing techniques: simple interrupted, horizontal mattress, vertical mattress, and figure-of-eight, with assessments on pain, swelling, and operation metrics.
- Results showed the figure-of-eight technique offered significant advantages in pain reduction, swelling control, wound healing, and overall patient satisfaction, suggesting it should be favored in clinical practice.
Viral variant is one known risk factor associated with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), yet the pathogenesis is largely unknown. Here, we studied SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant-induced PASC in K18-hACE2 mice. The virus replicated productively, induced robust inflammatory responses in lung and brain tissues, and caused weight loss and mortality during the acute infection.

Material And Method: Thirty-six primary mandibular molars from 4- to 8-year-old children requiring pulpectomy were randomly split into two groups of 18 teeth each, that is, manual file K-file (Group I) and Kedo-S rotary file (Group II). Children's pre- and postoperative pain was assessed using a four-point scale at different time intervals.
