Abstract: Objective: Sepsis remains an unresolved clinical problem. Therapeutic strategies focusing on inhibition of neutrophils (polymorphonuclear neutrophils) have failed, which indicates that a more detailed understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of sepsis is required. Polymorphonuclear neutrophil… read more here.

Abstract: Salivary agglutination is an important host defense mechanism to aggregate oral commensal bacteria as well as invading pathogens. Saliva flow and subsequent swallowing more easily clear aggregated bacteria compared with single cells. Phagocytic clearance of… read more here.
