Bone and Metabolic Activities
Substantial progress has been made in defining genes and proteins involved in development, maintenance and regeneration of teeth and bones. This knowledge has improved strategies for diagnosing and treating mineralized tissue diseases. Existing data provide credence for these genes/proteins having roles beyond those attributed to mineralized tissues. For example, they may affect systemic metabolic activity and glucose tolerance. One example is fibroblast growth factor 23 (Fgf23), a hormone secreted by osteocytes, suppressing phosphate reabsorption into the blood stream and vitamin D synthesis in the kidney. Many other bone associated proteins, perhaps acting as endocrine factors, are reported to act at distant sites to alter metabolic activity. However, there remains substantial uncertainty as to whether bone itself functioning as an endocrine organ and/or factors secreted by bone could modulate metabolic activity. Such information should be of value toward informing clinical strategies to treat mineralized tissue and metabolic disorders.
Stem Cells in Craniofacial Development and Regeneration
Stem Cells, Craniofacial Development and Regeneration is an introduction to stem cells with an emphasis on their role in craniofacial development. Divided into five sections, chapters build from basic introductory information on the definition and characteristics of stem cells to more indepth explorations of their role in craniofacial development. Section I covers embryonic and adult stem cells with a focus on the craniofacial region, while sections II-IV cover the development and regeneration of craniofacial bone, tooth, temporomandibular joint, salivary glands and muscle. Concluding chapters describe the current, cutting-edge research utilizing stem cells for craniofacial tissue bioengineering to treat lost or damaged tissue. The authoritative resource for dentistry students as well as craniofacial researchers at the graduate and post-graduate level, Stem Cells, Craniofacial Development and Regeneration explores the rapidly expanding field of stem cells and regeneration from the perspective of the dentistry and craniofacial community, and points the way forward in areas of tissue bioengineering and craniofacial stem cell therapies.
Integrating Oral and Systemic Health: Innovations in Transdisciplinary Science, Health Care and Policy
“This Research Topic has been hosted in collaboration with the Santa Fe Group Salon 2021. The Topic Editors Judi Haber and Ira Lamster declare that they are affiliated with the Santa Fe Group (SFG). The remaining Topic Editors partnered with Frontiers and the SFG in launching this Research Topic, which coincided with the SFG’s Continuum on Oral Health Integration, 2021 https://santafegroup.org/events/.”
Smoking and Health Research Frontiers
Smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease, says the World Health Organisation. According to their figures, it is responsible for approximately five million deaths world-wide every year. Tobacco smoking is a known or probable cause of approximately 25 diseases including cancer, heart attacks and strokes. The WHO says that its impact on world health is still not fully assessed. This book offers leading edge research from around the globe with a focus on smoking cessation and the effects of passive smoking on health.
Dental Cementum in Anthropology
Presents the latest advances in cementochronology and its use in various anthropological contexts, from ancient fossils to forensic cases.
Mineralized Tissues in Oral and Craniofacial Science
Mineralized Tissues in Oral and Craniofacial Science is a major comprehensive update on knowledge in the field of mineralized tissues in the oral and craniofacial region. Drs. McCauley and Somerman assembled an international team of researchers and clinicians, offering a global perspective on the current knowledge in this field. Basic and clinical correlates reinforce the significance of research to clinical diagnoses and therapies, written in a manner that lends easily to their use for case study teaching venues. Section 1 features the many aspects of bone in the craniofacial region, including embryology, cell biology, and stem cell biology. Section 2 focuses on teeth-tooth development, den...
Stigma Syndemics
Central to this volume, and critical to its unique creative significance and contribution, is the conceptual unification of syndemics and stigma. Syndemics theory is increasingly recognized in social science and medicine as a crucial framework for examining and addressing pathways of interaction between biological and social aspects of chronic and acute suffering in populations. While much research to date addresses known syndemics such as those involving HIV, diabetes, and mental illness, this book explores new directions just beginning to emerge in syndemics research – revealing what syndemics theory can illuminate about, for example the health consequences of socially pathologized pregn...
Smart Systems in Biotechnology
This compact volume is focused on an eclectic mix of biotechnological and biomedical applications of stimuli-sensitive polymeric materials. It starts with their chemical synthesis and design strategies. This is followed by discussions of their applications in microfluidics, biosensors, wound healing and anticancer therapy. Two other interesting applications covered are the design of aptamer-based smart surfaces for biological applications and use of smart hydrogels in tissue engineering. In general, it provides a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in design and applications of smart systems at the interfaces of biological sciences.
