Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), caused by a novel coronavirus, SARS‐COV‐2 was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the World Health Organization (WHO) in January 2020. Human‐to‐Human transmission occurs through close contact with an infected person or surfaces that are contaminated with droplets or secretions.
Abstract Objectives The study aimed to explore the effects of mouth breathing and hypoxia on the condyle of temporomandibular joint(TMJ) via two animal models. Methods 24 four‐week rats were randomly separated into three groups, consisting of eight control rats, eight intermittent hypoxia (IH) rats and eight intermittent nasal obstruction (INO) rats. We use the IH model and the INO model to simulate children suffering from hypoxia and mouth breathing. After 16 days, the condyle of...
Abstract Objective The present case‐control study aims to compare the psychological status of patients with and without halitosis, and investigate the association of psychological disorders and halitosis. Methods Patients who complained about bad breath and diagnosed with genuine halitosis were assigned to the halitosis group, while patients without genuine halitosis were assigned into the control group (n=106, each group). Information on the demographics and Symptom Checklist‐90...
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to examine the association between hyperglycemia and the malignant transformation of oral leukoplakia (OLK). Patients and Methods This retrospective case‐control study involved 133 patients with the malignant transformation of OLK into oral squamous cell carcinoma (case group) and 266 patients with untransformed OLK (control group). The clinical history and follow‐up data included age, gender, lesion size and location, and fasting plasma glucose....
Abstract Objective To estimate the effect of income at birth on adulthood tooth loss due to dental caries in 539 adults from the 1982 Pelotas birth cohort. Methods Family income was collected at birth. Tooth loss was clinically assessed when individuals were aged 31. Dental visit and oral hygiene at age 25 were considered mediators. Confounders included maternal skin color, and individual’s skin color, sex, and income in adulthood. Marginal structural modeling was used to estimate...
Abstract Human saliva is an inquisitively complex fluid and has an imperative role for prevention and protection from viral infection, particularly through innate immune system, which is a prominent first‐line defense against viral infection (Malamud et al., 2011; Dawes et al., 2015). Despite the clear role of saliva in the continuous cleansing of oral cavity, we focus on proteins that illustrate antiviral activity, particularly against corona viruses.

Effect of Auditory Predictability on the Human Peripheral Auditory System. Front Neurosci. 2020;14:362 Authors: Riecke L, Marianu IA, De Martino F Abstract Auditory perception is facilitated by prior knowledge about the statistics of the acoustic environment. Predictions about upcoming auditory stimuli are processed at various stages along the human auditory pathway, including the cortex and midbrain. Whether such auditory predictions are processed also...

Nature Communications, Published online: 01 May 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-15993-4The driving force for charge transfer in photoelectrochemical systems is typically derived from band bending at a surface-electrolyte interface. In this work, battery-type lithiation of TiO2 generates a built-in electric field in the bulk material, giving a 750% enhancement in photocurrent density.
Nature Communications, Published online: 01 May 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-15974-7Though organic semiconductors are attractive for high performance X-ray detection systems, the detection mechanism in organic thin films is not well understood.

Nature Communications, Published online: 01 May 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-16029-7The trans-synaptic interaction of the cell-adhesion molecules teneurins (TENs) with latrophilins (LPHNs) promotes excitatory synapse formation. Here authors report the high resolution cryo-EM structure of the TEN2-LPHN3 complex, describe the trimeric TEN2-LPHN3-FLRT3 complex and show how alternative-splicing regulates the TEN2-LPHN3 interaction.
Nature Communications, Published online: 01 May 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-15477-5One of the fundamental laws in crystallization is translational symmetry but breaking translational symmetry can be used as a general route towards the design of nanostructures. Here the authors show that overcrowding in molecular bottlebrush polymers allows for spontaneous formation of spherical hollow crystals with broken translational symmetry.

The authors show that when Pop1 and 6 are impaired, the telomerase subunit Est1 binds telomerase RNA at normal levels, but the binding is unstable. As a result, nuclear import of the telomerase holoenzyme is inhibited.
