Surface‑reaction‑type prereacted glass-ionomer (S‑PRG) fillers exhibit bioactive properties by the release of multiple ions. This study examined whether a novel endodontic sealer containing S‑PRG fillers (PRG+) has the capacity to induce osteoblast differentiation. Kusa‑A1 osteoblastic cells were cultured with extracts of PRG+, PRG- (an experimental sealer containing S‑PRG‑free silica fillers), AH Plus (an epoxy-resin‑based sealer), and Canals N (a zinc-oxide noneugenol sealer). Cell viability and mineralized nodule formation were determined using WST‑8 assay and Alizarin red staining, respectively. Osteoblastic-marker expression was analyzed with RT‑qPCR and immunofluorescence. Phosphorylation of extracellular signal‑regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) was determined with Western blotting. Extracts of freshly mixed PRG+, PRG-, and AH Plus significantly decreased cell growth, but extracts of the set samples were not significantly cytotoxic. Set PRG+ significantly upregulated mRNAs for alkaline phosphatase and bone sialoprotein (IBSP) compared to set PRG-, and upregulation was blocked by NPS2143, a calcium‑sensing receptor antagonist. Set PRG+ significantly accelerated IBSP expression, mineralized nodule formation, and enhanced the phosphorylation of ERK and p38 compared with set PRG-. In conclusion, PRG+ induced the differentiation and mineralization of Kusa‑A1 cells via the calcium-sensing receptor-induced activation of ERK and p38 MAPK.

: , a bacterium residing in hair follicles, triggers acne by inducing monocyte-mediated inflammatory cytokine production. Gedunin, a limonoid derived from (commonly known as neem), is renowned for its antifungal, antimalarial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. However, its role in mitigating -induced skin inflammation remains unexplored.

Lactoferrin (LF), a member of the transferrin family, is widely present in mammalian milk and other secretions, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-infective properties. Although the biological functions of LF have been extensively studied, there are few reports on its effects and molecular mechanisms concerning bovine mastitis caused by bacterial infection. This study used bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) cultured in vitro as the research model.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with a persistently low five-year survival rate of only 14-17%. High rates of metastasis contribute significantly to the poor prognosis of NSCLC, in which inflammation plays an important role by enhancing tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Targeting inflammatory pathways within cancer cells may thus represent a promising strategy for inhibiting NSCLC metastasis.

Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) has emerged as a potent bioactive compound with proven efficacy in wound healing, tissue regeneration, and anti-inflammatory applications and is predominantly derived from salmonid gonads. However, this study presents a groundbreaking advancement by successfully extracting and characterizing PDRN from microbial sources, specifically , marking the first report to utilize microbial-, biome-, or -derived PDRN (L-PDRN). The findings demonstrate the enhanced biological properties of L-PDRN over traditional salmon-derived PDRN across several assays.
