Summary

Connective tissue grafts (CTG) from the tuberosity are effective for gingival augmentation. However, a rare hyperplastic response can occur, posing challenges for complete removal and requiring patient awareness.

Hybrid Zones02:29

Hybrid Zones

Hybrid zones are narrow regions where two closely related species interact, mate, and produce hybrids. Relative to either parent species, hybrids may possess distinct phenotypic or genetic differences that impact their survival and reproductive success. The genetic variances introduced by hybridization influence species diversity and speciation processes within the hybrid zone.

Establishment of a Primary Culture of Patient-derived Soft Tissue Sarcoma

The following protocol focuses on the establishment of a primary culture of patient-derived soft tissue sarcoma (STS). This model could help us to better understand the molecular background and pharmacological profile of these rare malignancies and could represent a starting point for further research aimed at improving STS...
