Sus Antecedentes
- La caries dental es una enfermedad multifactorial influenciada por factores genéticos, epigenéticos, microbiológicos, ambientales y sociales.
- La comprensión de estas interacciones complejas es crucial para desarrollar estrategias de prevención eficaces.
Objetivo Del Estudio
- Revisar los resultados recientes sobre los factores genéticos y epigenéticos que influyen en la susceptibilidad a la caries.
- Explorar las implicaciones para la prevención personalizada, incluidos los nuevos enfoques de vacunas.
Principales Métodos
- Revisión narrativa de la literatura científica.
- Síntesis de la investigación sobre los polimorfismos genéticos, las modificaciones epigenéticas y su relación con el riesgo de caries.
- Examen de las tecnologías emergentes de vacunas contra la caries.
Principales Resultados
- Los polimorfismos genéticos en la formación del esmalte, la saliva, la respuesta inmune y la percepción del gusto están relacionados con el riesgo de caries.
- Las exposiciones ambientales tempranas pueden modificar el riesgo de caries a través de cambios epigenéticos (metilación del ADN, microARN, modificaciones de histonas).
- Se están desarrollando vacunas contra la caries dirigidas a Streptococcus mutans utilizando varias plataformas.
Conclusiones
- Los conocimientos genéticos y epigenéticos son clave para la prevención personalizada de la caries dental.
- Las nuevas vacunas representan una adición prometedora a las medidas preventivas existentes.
- La integración de los avances genéticos, epigenéticos e inmunológicos puede mejorar las estrategias de prevención de la caries.

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.
Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of the DNA without changing the genetic sequence and often regulate whether genes are turned on or off. This regulation ensures that each cell produces only proteins necessary for its function. For example, proteins that promote bone growth are not produced in muscle cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Overview
Vaccination is the administration of antigenic material from pathogens to confer immunity against a specific microorganism. Vaccination primes the immune system to recognize and mount an immune response faster and more effectively if the real pathogen is encountered. Vaccinations are one of the most efficient ways to protect both individual humans and the general public from disease. A growing anti-vaccination skepticism risks the successes of vaccination programs that helped reduce...
Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity refer to the ability of drugs to cause genetic defects and induce cancer, respectively. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies agents into four groups based on their carcinogenic potential. Group 1 agents are known human carcinogens; group 2A agents are probably carcinogenic to humans; group 3 agents lack data to support their role in carcinogenesis; and group 4 includes agents for which data support that they are not likely to be...
