Is activation of the neutrophil respiratory burst by plasma from periodontitis patients mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines?
This study demonstrates that plasma cytokines may have a role in inducing the hyperactive (IL-8, GM-CSF, IFN-α) and hyper-reactive (IFN-α) neutrophil phenotype seen in periodontitis patients.
Serotonergic genes could prove to play an important role in differentiating between ASD and ADHD, but the results of this exploratory study need replication.
