Scientists hope it will become part of a regular visit to the dentist.
Each participant was asked to fast for six hours before testing, though they were permitted to drink water. At the lab they rinsed their mouths with water before gargling saline, to be tested.
Flow-mediated dilation measures how well arteries can dilate when more blood is pumped through, and pulse-wave velocity tests how stiff they are.Participants’ blood pressure was monitored as part of the trial The experts suggest that inflammation in the mouth leaks into the vascular system and impacts the arteries’ ability to produce nitric oxide, the molecule that allows them to respond to blood flow.

For a new generation of antibiotics, scientists are bringing extinct molecules back to life'We need to think big in antibiotics research,' says Cesar de la Fuente. 'Over one million people die every year from drug-resistant infections, and this is predicted to reach 10 million by 2050. There hasn't been a truly new class of antibiotics in decades, and there are so few of us tackling this issue that we need to be thinking about more than just new drugs. We need new frameworks.'

Scientists reprogram connective tissue cells into muscle stem cells without genetic engineeringA new method allows large quantities of muscle stem cells to be safely obtained in cell culture. This provides a potential for treating patients with muscle diseases—and for those who would like to eat meat, but don't want to kill animals.

Scientists discover external protein network can help stabilize neural connectionsThe Noelin family of secreted proteins bind to the external portion of AMPA glutamate receptors and stabilize them on the neuronal cellular membrane, a process necessary for transmission of full-strength signals between neurons, according to a study in mice from the National Eye Institute (NEI) and the University of Freiberg, Germany. Without this external, stabilizing protein network, the AMPA receptors are no longer retained at the synapse, leading to weak, short-lived synaptic signals.
