Neutrophil-Derived Oncostatin M Contributes to Endothelial Cell Dysfunction During Treponema denticola interaction
Periodontitis (PD) is a common chronic inflammatory condition and a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), yet underlying linking mechanisms remain unclear. The cytokine Oncostain M (OSM) is elevated in both PD and CVD and has emerged as a potential mediator linking oral inflammation to vascular dysfunction. Neutrophils represent a prominent source of OSM during PD and OSM production is elevated by the periodontal pathobiont Treponema denticola (Td).
Ötzi's frozen remains may harbour metabolically active microbes
Some of the microbes lingering on the 5300-year-old remains of “Ötzi the Iceman” may still be metabolically active, despite being kept in icy conservation conditions. Ötzi’s mummified body was discovered in 1991 thawing out of an Alpine glacier close to the border of Austria and Italy. He is estimated to have lived at some point between 3350 and 3120 BC, and in the 35 years since he was found, studies of his remains have revealed a treasure trove of information, including that he was...
