Summary

Giant cell arteritis (GCA), or temporal arteritis, can present suddenly after dental procedures. Prompt diagnosis of this serious vasculitis is crucial to prevent vision loss and stroke.

Isolation of Epithelial Cells from Human Dental Follicle

The dental follicle contains an epithelial population and mesenchymal cells. The epithelial population was selected from the heterogeneous dental follicle cell population by providing a distinct culture medium. Epithelial cells survived and formed colonies in a serum-free medium.

Bacterial Cell Culture at the Single-cell Level Inside Giant Vesicles

We demonstrate single-cell culture of bacteria inside giant vesicles (GVs). GVs containing bacterial cells were prepared by the droplet transfer method and were immobilized on a supported membrane on a glass substrate for direct observation of bacterial growth. This approach may also be adaptable to other...
