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 ...
Long-term randomized clinical trial evaluating the effects of fixture surface acid-etching and machined collar design on bone healing
(Quintessence International Publishing Group, 2018)
Objectives: An implant with an acid-etched fixture surface and internal-hex collar may achieve greater osseointegration. The goal of this research was to study the effects on long-term bone healing of fixture surface ...
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 ...
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 ...
Sarcopenia pre- and post-liver transplantation : implication for hepatic encephalopathy
(Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins, 2019-09)
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Tissue regeneration in dentistry: can salamanders provide insight?
(2017-04-29)
The ability to regenerate damaged tissues would be of tremendous benefit for medicine
and dentistry. Unfortunately, humans are unable to regenerate tissues such teeth, fingers or to
repair injured spinal cord. With an ...
Senescence gives insights into the morphogenetic evolution of anamniotes
(2017)
Senescence represents a mechanism to avoid undesired cell
proliferation that plays a role in tumor suppression, wound healing
and embryonic development. In order to gain insight on the evolution
of senescence, we looked ...
