Abstract Mild photothermal therapy (PTT) is a spatiotemporally controllable method that utilizes the photothermal effect at relatively low temperatures (40-45 °C) to especially eliminate tumor tissues with negligible side effects on the surrounding normal tissues. However, the overexpression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and limited effect of single...

Abstract The role of the biomechanical stimulation generated from soft tissue has not been well quantified or separated from the self-regulated hard tissue remodeling governed by Wolff's Law. Prosthodontic overdentures, commonly used to restore masticatory functions, can cause localized ischemia and inflammation as they often compress patients’ oral...

Abstract Periodontitis, a prevalent inflammatory condition in the oral cavity, is closely associated with oxidative stress-induced tissue damage mediated by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The jaw vascular unit (JVU), encompassing both vascular and lymphatic vessels, plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue fluid homeostasis and...

In this paper, a gelatin-based adhesive hydrogel is designed, inspired by natural materials. Driven by Schiff base and multiple hydrogen bonds, it is easy to prepare and quickly forms, and can be used in arterial and liver bleeding models. It has good adhesion to wet tissue, good hemostatic performance, and significantly reduces the amount of tissue...

Abstract In recent years, the demand for clinical bone grafting has increased. As a new solution for orthopedic implants, polyether ether ketone (PEEK, crystalline PAEK) has excellent comprehensive performance and has been practically applied in clinic. In this research, a noteworthy elevated scheme to enhance the performance of PEEK scaffolds was...

Abstract Intraoral wounds represent a particularly challenging category of mucosal and hard tissue injuries, characterized by the unique structures, complex environment, and distinctive healing processes within the oral cavity. They have a common occurrence yet frequently inflict significant inconvenience and pain on patients, causing a serious decline...
