third molar surgery: insights from recent literature

surgical removal of impacted third molars is amongst the most common surgical procedures performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. every year many articles are published in different journals regarding different aspects in such surgeries. it is necessary to translate such vast amounts of data into simple and easily comprehensible sentences for the students of dentistry and oral surgery. thi...

Vimentin is an endogenous ligand for the pattern recognition receptor Dectin-1.

AIMS Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of cholesterol deposition in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) within the arterial wall leading to impingement on the lumen of the vessel. In atherosclerotic lesions, MDM are the primary source of NADPH oxidase-derived superoxide anion (O₂⁻) inducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation leading to their unregulated uptake of oxidized L...

Recognition of non-self-polysaccharides by C-type lectin receptors dectin-1 and dectin-2.

The discovery of several transmembrane receptors expressed by antigen presenting cells, including those that detect and interact with specific sugar moieties on the surface of microbes, has improved our understanding of how immunity against infection is generated. This knowledge, in turn, prompted us to review such interactions with emphasis on C-type lectin receptors and a focus on the roles o...
