pH Sensitive Chitosan Nanoparticles: A Novel Approach to the Prevention of Dental Caries comments
Dental caries tooth decay remains one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. In previous research 1 proteins have been identified from the acquired enamel pellicle AEP , the layer between the tooth enamel and a dental plaque, that have demonstrated biological functions directly related to enamel homeostasis and inhibition of dental caries...

Prostaglandin E(2) Reverses Scar Tissue Production in Human Kidney Epithelial Cells: Implications for Biomaterial Implantation. comments
Myofibroblasts have been implicated in scar tissue formation around biomaterials. When biomaterials are implanted as part of a tissue engineered construct, as a sensor, as a prosthetic or even as a drug delivery device, scar formation fibrosis around the biomaterial often interferes with the intended function...
