Background: Podoplanin (PDPN) is a transmembrane glycoprotein implicated in the pathogenesis of odontogenic lesions (OL). It is localized at the membrane and cytoplasmic level, and its interaction with other proteins could trigger cell proliferation, invasion and migration. The main objective of this systematic review is to explore the immunoexpression pattern of podoplanin in OL.

- A polymicrobial dysbiotic film triggers an immune response in periodontal tissues, leading to increased IL-18 production, which then heightens inflammatory cytokines, worsening chronic periodontitis.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines examined IL-18 expression across various biological samples from individuals with chronic periodontitis, analyzing data from multiple databases.
- The results showed significantly higher IL-18 levels in the serum, saliva, and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of chronic periodontitis patients compared to healthy individuals, suggesting the potential of IL-18 as a valuable diagnostic marker.
Background: Moebius syndrome (MS) is a rare, non-progressive, neuromuscular, congenic disease involving the oral maxillofacial region. The present study aimed to describe the oral and extraoral findings in MS patients and their comprehensive dental management.
Methods: A digital search was carried out in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, restricted to articles in English from Jan 01, 2000, to Apr 02, 2023, following PRISMA guidelines.
Rotationally resolved electronic spectra of two conformational isomers of jet-cooled indole-4-carboxylic acid (I4CA) and the deuterated forms of the acid (-COOD) and amide (-ND) groups have been obtained using a UV laser/molecular beam spectrometer. The in-plane orientation of the acid group defines the two lowest energy rotamers of I4CA. The S ← S origin bands of the two rotamers and four isotopologues have been fit to asymmetric rotor Hamiltonians in both electronic states.

- The study focuses on a novel fluorene cross-conjugated polymer which has excellent solubility and fluorescence properties, achieving a high quantum yield.
- The polymer was effectively used as an active layer in polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) and as a laser gain medium, demonstrating enhanced performance in both applications.
- PLEDs utilizing this polymer achieved a maximum luminous efficiency of 40 cd/A and a notable lasing threshold of about 75 μJ, indicating strong potential in optoelectronic applications.
