Periodontitis and diabetes mellitus are two highly prevalent chronic conditions that share a bidirectional relationship, significantly impacting public health. Periodontitis, gum inflammation caused by microbial dysbiosis, aggravates glycemic control in diabetics, while uncontrolled heightens periodontitis severity. These create vicious cycle, where dysbiosis mutually drive disease progression, exacerbating systemic The underlying mechanisms involve inflammation, immune dysfunction, with both diseases contributing to chain of exacerbates This relationship is significant because managing one condition can impact the other. In diabetic individuals, interventions such as periodontal therapy have shown effectiveness improving control, underscoring potential integrated strategies for these simultaneously. this review, we highlight importance deeper understanding molecular immunological interactions between essential developing therapeutic approaches, enhance quality life patient significantly.

Mutanofactins are a family of natural products produced by Streptococcus mutans from the human oral microbiome. We report unified approach to all mutanofactins developing total synthesis amenable diversification. The key success for most complex members, 607 and 697, was an acyl ketene based strategy. Access enabled comprehensive biological profiling, where we demonstrate that biofilm promoting in mutans. Experiments were extended other inhabitants microbiome first time: gordonii oralis, two early colonizers, similarly affected with being promoting. Conversely, Veillonella dispar Fusobacterium nucleatum showed little no reaction mutanofactins. Biophysical investigations on quartz crystal microbalance dissipation monitoring atomic force microscopy reveal previously unknown mucin–mutanofactin 697 interaction. Incubation mucin layer mutanofactin induces morphology change within layer, which promotes bacterial adhesion formation. This unique property might be stages formation Combined, interdisciplinary consisting synthesis, microbiology biophysical characterization provides insight into roles

Abstract Topical antibiotics can be utilized to treat periodontitis, while their delivery stratagems with controlled release and long‐lasting bactericidal inhibition are yet challenging. Herein, inspired by the defensive behavior of cuttlefish expelling ink, this work develops innovative thermal‐responsive melanin‐integrated porous microparticles (MPs) through microfluidic synthesis for periodontitis treatment. These MPs composed melanin nanoparticles (NPs), poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), agarose. Benefiting from excellent biocompatibility large surface area ratio MPs, they deliver abundant NPs. Under near‐infrared irradiation, NPs convert photo energy into thermal energy. This leads agarose melting subsequent shrinkage microspheres induced pNIPAM, thereby facilitating In addition, released serve as a highly effective photothermal agent, displaying potent antibacterial activity against porphyromonas gingivalis possessing natural anti‐inflammatory properties. unique characteristics further demonstrated in vivo experiments, showing effects treatment infected wounds periodontitis. Therefore, catfish‐inspired photo‐responsive controlled‐release drug hold tremendous potential clinical applications.

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by bacterial biofilms, which leads to the destruction of periodontal tissue. Current treatments, such as mechanical cleaning and antibiotics, struggle effectively address persistent inflammation, tissue damage. A new approach involves developing a Janus nanomotor (J-CeM@Au) coating cerium dioxide-doped mesoporous silica (CeM) with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). This exhibits thermophoretic motion when exposed near-infrared (NIR) laser light due temperature gradient produced photothermal effects asymmetrically distributed AuNPs. The NIR provides energy for propulsion activates nanomotor's antibacterial properties, allowing it penetrate biofilms kill bacteria. Additionally, ability scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) can modulate immune response create regenerative environment, promoting healing Overall, this multifunctional offers promising treating periodontitis simultaneously addressing biofilm management modulation autonomous movement.

Vascular calcification (VC) represents significant risk factor for cardiovascular events in individuals with CKD. It the accessible and precise diagnostic biomarkers monitoring progression of CKD concurrent VC are urgently needed.
