Unveiling the therapeutic potential of abaloparatide in treating periodontal dehiscence
Editorial Office of West China School of Stomatology, Sichuan UniversityPeer-Reviewed Publication
Alveolar bone defects can cause periodontal dehiscence, leading to exposure of dental roots, recession of gums, and increased tooth sensitivity. In a new study, researchers have evaluated the therapeutic potential of abaloparatide (ABL), a synthetic analog of human parathyroid hormone-related protein(PTHrP), in alleviating periodontal dehiscence. Utilizing rat models undergoing orthodontic tooth movement, they demonstrate that submucosal injection of ABL induces alveolar bone formation through a focal adhesion kinase(FAK)-driven mechanism.

“Click-to-glue” turns γδ T cells into cancer-killing ninjas
Science China PressPeer-Reviewed Publication
A collaborative research team from Peking University has developed a novel method to enhance the tumor-targeting efficiency of γδ T cells through chemical engineering. By conjugating or gluing the cancer cell-targeting antibodies to γδ T cells via fast metabolic glycan labeling and click chemistry, the team achieved improved anti-tumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. This innovative approach holds significant promise for advancing adoptive cell therapy in cancer treatment.
