Activation of bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) in human airway smooth muscle cells leads to relaxation and bronchodilation. This finding led our hypothesis that T2Rs are expressed pulmonary artery might be involved regulating the vascular tone. RT-PCR was performed reveal expression cells. Of 25 T2Rs, 21 were these Functional characterization done by calcium imaging after stimulating with different agonists. Increased responses observed most agonists, largest increase seen for dextromethorphan....
Abstract Background Potentially malignant lesions of the gingiva may frequently present as well‐demarcated white confined to marginal gingiva. These often become thick and verrucoid spread along encircle tooth. Some cases gingival leukoplakia, over time, progress extensively involve fulfilling criteria for proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL). The objective this study is raise awareness pattern by reporting a series leukoplakia. Methods An Institutional Review Board approved...
Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected dental professionals, thus contributing to adverse psychological outcomes. aim of this cross-sectional study was investigate the psychosocial state American and Canadian practitioners, with special emphasis on their affective well-being (both during lockdown after re-opening), behavioral impact cognitive responses.
 Methodology: Dental practitioners in Canada USA were invited participate an online survey initial period....
Activation of bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) in human airway smooth muscle cells lead to relaxation and bronchodilation. However, the presence T2Rs pulmonary artery (hPASMCs) has not been established. The previous finding led our hypothesis that T2Rs, if present hPASMCs, might be involved regulating vascular tone. RT‐PCR analysis revealed expression multiple T2R transcripts hPASMCs. Functional showed these responded many bitter‐tasting compounds, by increasing intracellular calcium...
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected dental education, contributing to adverse psychological outcomes, especially among students. In this cross-sectional study, the psychosocial state of American and Canadian students was explored, with special emphasis on affective, behavioral, cognitive well-being, during after initial lockdown. Methods: Dental were invited participate in an online survey. questions evaluated pandemic’s effect responses, learning experiences....
