Trained immunity in alveolar macrophages can lead to damaging lung inflammation, confirming the importance of context in this phenomenon.

Lung macrophages play a pivotal role in diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Two types of macrophages—the white blood ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse ...

In a recent study, Associate Professor Makoto Ikeya (Department of Clinical Application) and his team of researchers successfully established a method to generate jawbone-like organoids (mini-organs) ...

3. Gajendragadkar K, Bhate K, Jagtap B, Santhoshkumar SN, Kshirsagar K, Magoo S. Making inferior alveolar nerve block more comfortable via computer-controlled local anesthetic deli­very: a prospective ...

The inferior alveolar nerve branches off the mandibular nerve near the hinge of your jaw. It then enters a canal in the lower jaw called the mandibular foramen before branching off to the root canal ...

Radiofrequency ablation, used as a non-opioid treatment for chronic knee pain, traditionally targeting the inferior medial genicular nerve, but the role of the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous ...

They serially dissected, digitized, and 3D-modeled the infrapatellar branch and inferior medial genicular nerve in 7 specimens (mean age 57.8 ± 2.0; 2 female/5 male) and documented the relationship, ...

When to Have a Coronectomy The coronectomy came about because the roots of wisdom teeth sometimes grow too close or even on top of the inferior alveolar nerve, which connects to your tongue, lips ...

The inferior (lower) alveolar nerve and the inferior alveolar artery are channeled across this foramen, where they travel through the mandibular canal and then leave through the mental foramen.

A study was done to compare a three-dimensional (3D) artificial intelligence (AI)- driven model with panoramic radiography (PANO) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in assessing the risk of ...

The mental nerve is a sensory nerve that provides feeling to your lower lip, the front of your chin, and a portion of your gums. It’s one of the branches of the inferior alveolar nerve, which is a ...
