Transcytosis of IgG

Transcytosis of IgG

Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Cell Motility through Blebbing

Cell Motility through Blebbing

Blebs are a type of membrane protrusion formed by the internal hydrostatic pressure of the cytoplasm. Blebs are observed in several cell types, including fibroblasts, immune cells, and single-celled organisms like the amoeba. The primary function of blebs is cell locomotion and apoptosis, but they are also found during necrosis and cell division. The life cycle of a bleb comprises an initiation phase followed by the expansion and retraction phases.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Plasma cell gingivitis, a rare gingival condition, often stems from hypersensitivity reactions. Discontinuing the offending agent, like herbal dentifrice, alongside periodontal therapy, effectively resolves this benign condition.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Oral Pathology

Background:

Plasma cell gingivitis is a rare, benign gingival condition with unknown etiology.
It is characterized by erythematous, edematous gingiva, sometimes considered a hypersensitive reaction.

Observation:

Clinical presentation includes diffuse, erythematous, papillary lesions that bleed easily.
Histology reveals dense infiltration of plasma cells within the gingival tissue.

Findings:

A case report details a 29-year-old female with plasma cell gingivitis linked to a year-long use of herbal dentifrice.
Histological confirmation supported the clinical diagnosis.

Implications:

Identifying and avoiding allergens, such as specific dentifrices, is crucial for managing plasma cell gingivitis.
Nonsurgical periodontal therapy combined with allergen avoidance leads to rapid remission.
