TGF-beta superfamily and limb regeneration : TGF-beta to start and BMP to end
(Wiley, 2021-06-07)Axolotls represent a popular model to study how nature solved the problem of regenerating lost appendages in tetrapods. Our work over many years focused on trying to understand how these animals can achieve such a feat and not end up with a scarred up ... -
Prospective randomized clinical trial evaluating the effects of two different implant collar designs on peri‐implant healing and functional osseointegration after 25 years
(Wiley, 2020-12-14)Objectives Evaluate the effects of two different machined‐collar lengths and designs on peri‐implant healing. Material and Methods An implant with a microtextured surface and 3.6mm‐long internal‐connection machined collar was compared to two ... -
Detection of Fusobacterium nucleatum in feces and colorectal mucosa as a risk factor for colorectal cancer : a systematic review and meta-analysis
(BMC, 2020-12-03)Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Accumulating evidence suggests a potentially important role of colorectal infection with Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) in colorectal carcinogenesis. We conducted ... -
Bone healing response in cyclically loaded implants : comparing zero, one, and two loading sessions per day
(Elsevier, 2018-05)When bone implants are loaded, they are inevitably subjected to displacement relative to bone. Such micromotion generates stress/strain states at the interface that can cause beneficial or detrimental sequels. The objective of this study is to better ... -
From theoretical concepts to policies and applied programmes: the landscape of integration of oral health in primary care
(2018)Background: Despite its importance, the integration of oral health into primary care is still an emerging practice in the field of health care services. This scoping review aims to map the literature and provide a summary on the conceptual frameworks, ... -
Neonatal low-protein diet reduces the masticatory efficiency in rats
(2015-09)Little is known about the effects of undernutrition on the specific muscles and neuronal circuits involved in mastication. The aim of this study was to document the effects of neonatal low-protein diet on masticatory efficiency. Newborn rats whose ... -
Assessment of the potential role of muscle spindle mechanoreceptor afferents in chronic muscle pain in the rat masseter muscle
(2010-06)Background: The phenotype of large diameter sensory afferent neurons changes in several models of neuropathic pain. We asked if similar changes also occur in ‘‘functional’’ pain syndromes. Methodology/Principal Findings: Acidic saline (AS, pH 4.0) ... -
An astrocyte-dependent mechanism for neuronal rhythmogenesis
(2015-06)Communication between neurons rests on their capacity to change their firing pattern to encode different messages. For several vital functions, such as respiration and mastication, neurons need to generate a rhythmic firing pattern. Here we show in the ... -
Ion homeostasis in rhythmogenesis : the interplay between neurons and astroglia
(2015-09)Proper function of all excitable cells depends on ion homeostasis. Nowhere is this more critical than in the brain where the extracellular concentration of some ions determines neurons' firing pattern and ability to encode information. Several neuronal ...
