Does parylene coating hinder Candida albicans adhesion to silicone elastomers and denture bases resin?
Parylene coating reduced C. albicans adhesion and aggregation on the surface of silicone elastomer A-2186 and lucitone 199 resin, and improved the wettability of silicone elastomer A-2186.
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin plays divergent roles in the pathogenesis of atopic and nonatopic asthma phenotypes by either enhancing Th2 responses or curtailing T-helper 17 responses. These findings raise important caveats for the design of therapeutic interventions targeting TSLP in asthma.
