Spontaneous regeneration of bone tissue after mandibular resection is rare in adults, although it does often take place in children. Periosteum conservation appears to play a major role in this healing process. We here report regarding a 5-year-old boy who exhibited a large mandibular trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma.

Article Synopsis
  • Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by three NO synthase (NOS) enzymes, with endothelial NOS (eNOS) protecting against hypertension and inducible NOS (iNOS) being linked to disease during atherogenesis.
  • In a study using mice, female wild-type (WT) mice showed resistance to thrombosis, but this resistance decreased when iNOS was deleted, while male mice were equally affected regardless of iNOS presence.
  • The research indicates that iNOS-derived NO might help protect female mice from thrombotic issues, suggesting a complex role for iNOS in vascular health despite its association with disease.
