Alterations of the gut microbiota may cause dysregulated mucosal immune responses leading to the onset of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in genetically susceptible hosts. Restoring immune homeostasis through the normalization of the gut microbiota...
Background/Objectives: As bioactive extracellular vesicles, exosomes participate in cellular communication and disease mechanisms, yet their structural complexity continues to challenge standard analytical methodologies. This review summarizes publis...
The present article discusses the role of light in altering autophagy, both within the outer retina (retinal pigment epithelium, RPE, and the outer segment of photoreceptors) and the inner choroid (Bruch’s membrane, BM, endothelial cells and th...
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a treatment that is increasingly used in orthopedics practices. In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) promotes angiogenesis, fracture healing and osteogenic differentiation of st...
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a significant global health concern associated with excessive alcohol consumption. ALD encompasses various liver conditions with complex pathogenesis and progression influenced by environmental, genetic, and epigeneti...
Recent reviews and meta-analyses of the literature over the past quarter-century have failed to provide enough evidence to prove or disprove the actual utility of photonic therapy in periodontitis, alone or adjunctive to conventional approaches. This...
Osteoarthritis in dogs is commonly managed with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nutraceuticals, and other medications aimed at alleviating pain and inflammation. Although NSAIDs are generally considered the most effective option, thei...
Objective. Low-Level Laser Therapy encourages the healing process, reduces inflammation and pain. The aim of this study is to identify the impact of Low-Level Laser Therapy on tissue regeneration with special attention to hard tissues and to compare...
Photobiomodulation (PBM) has emerged as a noninvasive therapeutic tool with promising clinical applications in veterinary clinical surgery. Its mechanism of action is based on the stimulation of cellular processes through low-intensity light, promoti...
Background: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect of dentin pretreatment strategies on bond strength to natural caries-affected dentin (NCAD) in permanent human teeth. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science...
Traditional Chinese Medicine (tcm) may be integrated with conventional Western medicine to enhance the care of patients with cancer. Although tcm is normally implemented as a whole system, recent reductionist research suggests mechanisms for the effe...
Background: The rehabilitation of complex bone defects in the anterior maxilla presents significant challenges in restoring both function and esthetics. A multidisciplinary approach integrating guided bone regeneration (GBR) and connective tissue gra...
Background: Pain is a disabling issue in athletes, with significant impact on performance and career longevity. Many randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have explored interventions to reduce pain, leading to multiple systematic reviews with meta-analys...
Infrared Thermography (IRT) has become an assistance tool in medicine and is used to noninvasively evaluate heat elimination during and after inflammatory processes or during the recovery period. However, its application in veterinary patients underg...
The purpose of this review is to determine the state of the art of the mode of action and potential applications of fluorescence photobiomodulation in veterinary medicine. After a summary of the assets that have led the translation of such light-base...
Differentiation of stem cells into different tissues is a promising approach to treat a large number of diseases, as well as for tissue transplantation and repair. It has been shown that parathyroid hormone, similarly to stromal self-derived factor,...
