Spatial Transcriptomics Unravel the Tissue Complexity of Oral Pathogenesis J. Dent. Res. (IF 5.7) Pub Date : 2024-10-10 J. Haller, N. Abedi, A. Hafedi, O. Shehab, M.S. Wietecha
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is a cutting-edge methodology that enables the simultaneous profiling of global gene expression and spatial information within histological tissue sections. Traditional transcriptomic methods lack the spatial resolution required to sufficiently examine the complex interrelationships between cellular regions in diseased and healthy tissue states. We review the general workflows

Periodontitis and Diabetes Differentially Affect Inflammation in Obesity J. Dent. Res. (IF 5.7) Pub Date : 2024-10-10 S. SantaCruz-Calvo, S. Saraswat, H. Hasturk, D.R. Dawson, X.D. Zhang, B.S. Nikolajczyk
Periodontitis (PD) potentiates systemic inflammatory diseases and fuels a feed-forward loop of pathogenic inflammation in obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Published work in this area often conflates obesity with obesity-associated T2D; thus, it remains unclear whether PD similarly affects the inflammatory profiles of these 2 distinct systemic diseases. We collected peripheral blood mononuclear cells

A Deep Learning System to Predict Epithelial Dysplasia in Oral Leukoplakia J. Dent. Res. (IF 5.7) Pub Date : 2024-10-10 J. Adeoye, A. Chaurasia, A. Akinshipo, I.K. Suleiman, L.-W. Zheng, A.W.I. Lo, J.J. Pu, S. Bello, F.O. Oginni, E.T. Agho, R.O. Braimah, Y.X. Su
Oral leukoplakia (OL) has an inherent disposition to develop oral cancer. OL with epithelial dysplasia (OED) is significantly likely to undergo malignant transformation; however, routine OED assessment is invasive and challenging. This study investigated whether a deep learning (DL) model can predict dysplasia probability among patients with leukoplakia using oral photographs. In addition, we assessed
