This study aimed to isolate and characterize lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from traditional Lithuanian fermented foods and evaluate their probiotic potential, safety, and ability to produce tryptophan. Around 20 LAB isolate...

Background: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are among the commonest fractures encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. Primary goal in the treatment of DRFs is to restore articular congruity. Evidence is inconsistent about th...

Background and objectives: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common among individuals who lead active lifestyles. A frequently used surgical approach to address this condition is ACL reconstruction (ACLR) uti...

Although the classical language cortex significantly contributes to post-stroke aphasia (PSA), non-language-specific cortex, such as the cerebellum, is increasingly implicated in language. However, the specific contribut...

Introduction and Aims: Mandibular movement is a complex physiological process essential for orofacial function. Patients with disc displacement without reduction (DDWoR) exhibit significant kinematic impairments, which a...

Oral mucosal ageing represents a fundamental reprogramming of the tissue microenvironment, a dynamic process that underlies the functional decline and heightened disease susceptibility observed in the elderly. This revie...

Background: Barrett's esophagus (BE) represents a critical precancerous lesion arising from chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with significant risk of progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma. Despite advan...

Objective: Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) combines selective alveolar decortication with orthodontic force to accelerate tooth movement, but its influence on the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) ...

Hepatic-driven metabolic alterations have impacts on both embryo implantation and subsequent fetal development. We previously found that dietary chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) improves maternal redox homeostasis and metabo...

Background: Melanoma represents a highly aggressive and metastatic form of malignant skin cancer. that remains challenging to treat clinically. Tumor cells often reprogram nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) metab...

Background: Cuproptosis, a copper-dependent form of programmed cell death, has been implicated in the progression of various cancers. However, the role of LOXL2 - a cuproptosis-related gene (CRG) - and its prognostic val...

Background: Periodontitis combined with orthodontic treatment creates a complex inflammatory and biomechanical microenvironment in gingival tissue, where macrophages play pivotal roles in tissue remodeling and immune reg...
