Dental researchers considering silencing gum disease bacterium after discovering it has a ‘genetic brake’
Dental researchers have discovered that the primary bacterium driving gum disease carries an internal “genetic brake” that controls its own aggression — a finding that could open the door to targeted genetic therapies. Researchers at the University of Florida College of Dentistry say that by locking this brake in place, future treatments could silence Porphyromonas … Read more
