Microbial Nucleic Acid Sensing in Periodontitis
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Current proposal will characterize the involvement of microbial nucleic sensing in periodontal inflammation. The main focus will be TLR9-triggered inflammatory responses. The proposed studies will reveal novel biological pathways and therapeutic targets to control and prevent periodontitis and will lead to future studies to identif novel link between periodontitis and systemic complications.
