This study uses a 3D oral tissue model to investigate early gingival inflammation and disease progression by analyzing host-microbiome interactions.

This study examines how estrogen deprivation interacts with periodontitis across multiple tissues in mice, showing combined effects on bone marrow and periodontal tissues.

This study identifies that the K-antigen of Porphyromonas gingivalis coats outer membrane vesicles, not the bacterial cell surface, and shows its presence in subgingival plaque from periodontal patients.

This paper develops a 3D gingival model co-cultured with patient-derived microbiomes to study host-microbiome interactions and tissue homeostasis.

This study shows that Klebsiella outcompetes other microbes in oral and nasal communities during starvation, contributing to its persistence and potential pathogenicity.
