Abstract Purpose of Review This review summarizes mechanisms by which Porphyromonas
gingivalis interacts with community members and the host so that it can persist in the …

Background: Periodontitis is a bacterially induced chronic inflammatory disease. Toll‐like
receptors (TLRs), which could recognize microbial pathogens, are important components in …

Candida albicans and streptococci of the mitis group colonize the oral cavities of the majority
of healthy humans. While C. albicans is considered an opportunistic pathogen, streptococci …

Periodontitis has been associated with rheumatoid arthritis. In experimental arthritis,
concomitant periodontitis caused by oral infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis enhances …

Signaling crosstalk between complement and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) normally serves to
coordinate host immunity. However, the periodontal bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis …

Introduction Clinical studies suggest a direct influence of periodontal disease (PD) on serum
inflammatory markers and disease assessment of patients with established rheumatoid …

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a key role in the innate immune responses to periodontal
pathogens in periodontal disease. The present study was performed to determine the roles …

An emerging concept is the tight relationship between dysbiosis (microbiota imbalance) and
disease. The increase in knowledge about alterations in microbial communities that reside …

Expression and activity of serum-and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) are
associated with many metabolic and inflammatory diseases. In this study, we report that …

Mammalian biological processes such as inflammation, involve regulation of hundreds of
genes controlling onset and termination. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can translationally repress …
