The Impact of Bacteria-Induced Adaptive Immune Responses in Periodontal Disease

More than one microorganism causes periodontal disease, like many infectious diseases in humans. Because of the complexity of “polymicrobial infections”, their study requires a multidisciplinary approach, employing specific in vitro techniques, and various animal models (Bakaletz 2004). Inherently, no one approach or animal model can completely elucidate the mechanisms of periodontal disease. N...

Assesment of different DNA extraction methods in medicinal plants

Medicinal plants have high importance in medicine and pharmacogonosy because of their secondary metabolites. Essential oils, antioxidants and flavonoids are the major compounds of many medicinal plants. These compounds especially antioxidants can increase oxidation of DNA in response to wounds. Nowadays, progresses in biotechnology such as molecular markers were used for phylogenetic relationsh...

Stopping a medical research project for financial reasons.

Letters Stopping a medical research project for financial reasons Sir, We are writing to provide some clarifications on the Editorial Comment by Druëke et al. [1]. We would have been happy to provide these very same clarifications had we been fairly invited to do so before the publication of the article. First of all, we would like to underline that cancelling a clinical trial is always a diffi...
