Stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP) of human adult teeth are considered an accessible source with angiogenic properties. The aims this study were to investigate endothelial transdifferentiation SCAP, secretion pro- and antiangiogenic factors paracrine effects SCAP when exposed environmental stress stimulate tissue damage. serum deprivation (SD), glucose (GD), oxygen deprivation/hypoxia (OD) conditions, individually or in combination. Endothelial was evaluated by vitro capillary-like...
Αbstract This study examines the challenges child protection efforts face in Greece within broader context of European welfare systems 21st century. Despite legislative mandates, struggles with effective implementation legislation and out-of-home placement abused neglected children. Drawing on experience NGO “The Smile The Child,” this employs an empirical approach to examine Greece's national framework, tools issues children's rights welfare, youth care systems. In Greece, faces significant...
Glass-ceramic scaffolds containing Mg have shown recently the potential to enhance proliferation, differentiation, and biomineralization of stem cells in vitro, property that makes them promising candidates for dental tissue regeneration. An additional a scaffold aimed at regeneration is protect process against oral bacteria penetration. In this respect, novel bioactive 2+ Cu or Zn , ions known their antimicrobial properties, were synthesized by foam replica technique tested regarding...
Abstract HBV RNA is considered as a promising predictor in patients who discontinue nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs). We determined levels non‐cirrhotic HBeAg‐negative discontinued NAs and assessed their predictability for 12‐month outcomes. Fifty‐seven of DARING‐B study were included. stored monthly serum samples drawn at 0–3 months after end therapy (EOT). Other markers previously the same cohort including hepatitis B core‐related antigen (HBcrAg) also assessed. EOT was detectable 7%...
SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a accessory protein was found to be involved in virus release, immunomodulation and exhibited a pro-apoptotic character. In order unravel potential ORF3a-induced apoptotic inflammatory death mechanism, lung epithelial cells (A549) were transfected with vitro synthesized mRNA. The protein's dynamic involvement as "stress factor" for the endoplasmic reticulum, causing activation of PERK kinase other UPR-involved proteins therefore upregulation their signaling pathway...
To investigate the biocompatibility of silver nanoparticle (AgNP)-doped Ti-6Al-4V surfaces by evaluating viability and proliferation rate human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs)-as dominant cells peri-implant soft tissues-seeded on modified surfaces.
Abstract Evidence now exists to indicate that some ribosomal proteins besides being structural components of the subunits are involved in regulation cell differentiation and apoptosis. As we have shown earlier, initiation erythroid murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells is associated with transcriptional inactivation genes encoding RNAs S5 (RPS5) L35a. In this study, extended these observations investigated whether transfection MEL RPS5 cDNA affects onset maturation their entrance cycle arrest....
Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate prevalence and risk factors HPV in a gynecologic population attending outpatient clinics using two new molecular tests. Amplicor test Linear Array (LA) Genotyping were used for detection DNA 320 women. Multiple logistic regression identify independent prognostic positivity. agreement between methods terms their qualitative results 89.3% (kappa: 0.63). Based on LA results, overall 49.1%, 95% confidence interval (95% CI: 43.5%, 54.7%). high‐risk...
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has pinpointed the importance non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), which have been traditionally used for prevention spread respiratory viruses among individuals. aim our study was to capture level circulation syncytial and influenza during a period medium severity NPIs due pandemics in Greece. A total 2,225 nasopharyngeal samples were received year 2021 as part routine diagnostic service divided into two groups: (a) January September (b) October end December...
Abstract The potential therapeutic role of the Dental Pulp Stem Cells Secretome (SECR) in a rat model experimentally induced Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Osteoarthritis (OA) was evaluated. Proteomic profiling human SECR under specific oxygen tension (5% O2) and stimulation with Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) performed. respective cell lysates (CL) samples were collected subjected to SDS-PAGE, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. identified proteins analyzed Bioinformatic tools....
