Although it is known that diabetes impairs oral wound healing, relatively little is known about the cellular parameters affected, particularly in connective tissue. This study investigated the hypothesis that diabetes impairs connective tissue format

Osteoimmunolgy involves the interaction of the immune system with skeletal elements. This interaction can lead to the formation of osseous lesions. To investigate how the acquired immune response could contribute to osteolytic lesions, we injected th

Background: Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative bacterium that is an important etiologic agent of human adult periodontitis. The goal of the study was to test the hypothesis that two isoforms of P. gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (PgLPS), PgLPS

Retinal microvascular cell loss plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. To examine this further, type 1 streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and type 2 Zucker diabetic fatty rats were treated by intravitreal injection of th

Porphyromonas gingivalis is an oral bacterium that causes pathology in a number of dental infections that are associated with increased fibroblast cell death. Studies presented here demonstrated that P. gingivalis stimulates cell death by apoptosis r

Diabetics suffer increased infection followed by increased apoptosis of fibroblasts and bone-lining cells during the healing process. To investigate a potential mechanism, we inoculated Porphyromonas gingivalis into the scalp of type 2 diabetic (db/d

The fimA gene encodes the major fimbrial protein of Porphyromonas gingivalis. It has been shown to stimulate adhesion to salivary proteins and other bacteria. It is also thought to play a major rol...

To characterize the roles ofPorphyromonas gingivalisand its components in the disease processes, we investigated the cytokine profile induced by liveP. gingivalis, its lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and its major fimbrial protein, fimbrillin (FimA). Usin

Diabetes has been identified as an important risk factor for infection. But relatively little is known about how diabetes alters the inflammatory response to bacteria. The objective of this study was to investigate how diabetes affects host-bacteria

Diabetics suffer from both more frequent bacterial infections and greater consequences of infection. However, bacteria-induced tissue destruction and the subsequent response in diabetics have received relatively little attention. To investigate this
