A High Throughput Microfluidic Model of Human Gingival Tissue
The Link Between Oral Health and Overall Health Oral health is closely connected to overall health and well-being. The mouth is home to a complex microbial environment, and when oral…
A Long-Term Bioreactor-based In Vitro Oral Cavity Model to Study Host-Microbiome Interactions
Oral Cancer Awareness Month The oral cavity is home to a diverse community of microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, and viruses—collectively known as the oral microbiome. When host-microbiome interactions function properly, they support…
Gingival Fibroblast Compatibility and Cytotoxicity of Dental Cement Compositions
Fibroblasts: The Main Components of Connective Tissue Fibroblasts are specialized cells that are often identified by their spindle-like shape and expression of the protein Vimentin. They are found in connective…
Gingival Structure, Function, and the Latest Research
The gingiva (or gums) is the tissue that surrounds and protects the teeth and underlying bone. The gingiva is attached to the tooth, forming a seal that protects the underlying…
