Trends in Research of Odontogenic Keratocyst and Ameloblastoma.

J Dent Res

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Oral & Maxillofacial Reconstruction and Regeneration, Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedicine Ministry of Education, Hubei Key Laboratory of Stomatology, School & Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and ameloblastoma (AM) are common jaw lesions with high bone-destructive potential and recurrence rates. Recent advancements in technology led to significant progress in understanding these conditions. Single-cell and spatial omics have improved insights into the tumor microenvironment and cellular heterogeneity in OKC and AM.

Vitiligo is a pigmentary disorder acquired and caused by the loss or destruction of melanocytes from the epidermis. There is strong proof that vitiligo is mainly an autoimmune disease. Cathelicidin (LL37), an antimicrobial polypeptide, is an important part of the innate immune system and has a role in different skin autoimmune diseases.

Hydrocortisone Attenuates the Development of Malformations of the Polymicrogyria Spectrum.

Int J Dev Neurosci

February 2025

Neurodegeneration and Repair Lab, Department of Pathology, Postgraduate Program in Anatomical Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitary Hospital Clementino Fraga Filho, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Most of the malformations of the polymicrogyria spectrum are caused by destructive lesions of the neocortex during the third trimester of pregnancy, triggered by hypoxic-ischemic, hemorrhagic or infectious events, with neuroinflammation as a common pathophysiological mechanism. Our study investigated hydrocortisone treatment in attenuating inflammation, malformations development and seizures predisposition in mice subjected to neonatal transcranial freeze lesion. Our results show attenuation of malformation and predisposition to febrile seizures, with concomitant reduction of macrophages/microglia after neonatal freeze lesion, polarizing them towards an anti-inflammatory profile.

Changes in the Microbiome During Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

Pathogens

December 2024

Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Poznań University of Medical Sciences, Przybyszewskiego 49 St., 60-355 Poznań, Poland.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses with a yet unknown etiology. As studies continue to elucidate the disease's heterogeneity inflammatory profile and presentation, there is a growing interest in the influence of the nasal microbiome on disease pathogenesis and chronicity. The sinus microbiota appear dominated by the and genera; known upper airway pathogens, such as , are present in the upper airways of healthy individuals, though at relatively lower abundances than in CRS patients.
