Maintenance of periodontal health or transition to a periodontal lesion reflects the
continuous and ongoing battle between the vast microbial ecology in the oral cavity and the …

During the last two to three decades our understanding of the immunobiology of periodontal
disease has increased exponentially, both with respect to the microbial agents triggering the …

Innate recognition of bacteria is a key step in the activation of inflammation and coagulation,
and it is dependent on pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) ligation to Toll-like …

Dendritic cells (DC s) sense the microenvironment through several types of receptors
recognizing pathogen‐associated molecular patterns. In particular, C‐type lectins …

One of the most significant conceptual advances in immunology in recent history is the
recognition that signals from the innate immune system are required for induction of …
