Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that respond to pathogen-
associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). The recognition of specific microbial ligands by …

Objective Inflammaging and immunosenescence are characteristics of senescent immune
system alterations. This review provides insights into inflammaging and immunosenescence …

Chronic inflammatory periodontal disease develops in part from the infiltration of a large
number of classically activated inflammatory macrophages that release inflammatory …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a keystone pathogen in periodontitis (PD), produces cysteine
proteases named gingipains (RgpA, RgpB, and Kgp), which strongly affect the host immune …

Osteoimmune diseases, such as apical periodontitis, are prevalent, often painful,
inflammatory conditions resulting in bone loss and reduced quality of life. There is growing …

Fungal keratitis (FK) is a serious corneal infection caused by pathogenic fungi. Monocyte
chemoattractant protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1) plays an important role in restricting the …

Objectives The purposes of this study were to localize monocyte chemoattractant protein-1-
induced protein-1 (MCPIP-1) and its suppressor mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue …

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate oral bacteria‐and interleukin (IL)‐1β‐
induced protein and mRNA expression profiles of monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 …

Abstract Background and Aims In the case of mucous membrane pemphigoid with gingival
expression (gMMP), the complete healing of the gingiva is generally not achieved despite …

Adhesin proteins Prevotella intermedia mediate the attachment of bacteria to host cells and
thereby induce the development of periodontal disease. These adhesin proteins are …
