Article Synopsis
- After a tissue injury, inflammatory cells immediately respond to clear debris and manage other cells for repair, but their role can be both beneficial and detrimental.
- This study examines the use of protocells loaded with R848 to reprogram innate immune cells in zebrafish, observing significant changes in inflammatory responses during skin and skeletal repair.
- The research shows that R848-reprogrammed macrophages enhance healing outcomes by improving bactericidal activities and positively influencing processes vital for recovery, with findings also applicable to human macrophages.
Article Synopsis
- Developed a new bioactive sealant with calcium fluoride nanoparticles and antibacterial properties to improve fluoride release and sealing ability.
- The new sealant released significantly more fluoride initially compared to a commercial product and maintained its release after multiple cycles.
- It showed superior mechanical properties and biocompatibility, indicating potential for effective long-term caries prevention.
