    Article Title: Constructing the Enamel-Like Dentin Adhesion Interface to Achieve Durable Resin-Dentin Adhesion.
    Article Snippet: Enamel adhesion is acknowledged as durable; however, achieving long-lasting dentin adhesion remains a formidable challenge due to degradation of exposed collagen matrix after acid-etching of dentin.. The idea of developing an enamel-like adhesion interface holds great promise in achieving enduring dentin adhesion.. In this study, we constructed an enamel-like adhesion interface using a rapid remineralization strategy comprising an acidic primer and a rapid remineralization medium.

    Article Title: Cell-to-cell contact dependence and junctional protein content are correlated with in vivo maturation of pancreatic beta cells.
    Article Snippet: In this study, we investigated the cellular distribution of junctional proteins and the dependence on cell–cell contacts of pancreatic beta cells during animal development.. Fetus and newborn rat islets, which display a relatively poor insulin secretory response to glucose, present an immature morphology and cytoarchitecture when compared with young and adult islets that are responsive to glucose.. At the perinatal stage, beta cells display a low junctional content of neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM), aand b-catenins, ZO-1, and F-actin, while a differential distribution of N-CAM and Pan-cadherin was seen in beta cells and nonbeta cells only from young and adult islets.

    Article Title: Activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in pancreatic beta cells during the compensatory islet hyperplasia in prediabetic mice.
    Article Snippet: The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, also known as the canonical Wnt pathway, plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation in several tissues/organs.. It has been recently described in humans a relationship between type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and mutation in the gene encoding the transcription factor TCF7L2 associated to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.. In the present study, we demonstrated that hyperplasic pancreatic islets from prediabetic mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 60d displayed nuclear translocation of active β-catenin associated with significant increases in protein content and gene expression of β-catenin as well as of cyclins D1, D2 and c-Myc (target genes of the Wnt pathway) but not of Tcf7l2 (the transcription factor).
