Recently, a dental nanofloss containing a probiotic ( Ligilactobacillus salivarius ; LS -nanofloss) was developed by our team. This study aimed to evaluate: (i) its impact on subgingival plaque accumulation and gingival bleeding, and (ii) retention of selected subgingival periopathogens and the introduced probiotic bacteria, and (iii) its effect on the quantity of red complex periopathogens in the subgingival environment. This...

Understanding genetic responses to forest dynamics is essential for predicting the long‐term viability of understory plant populations and for developing effective conservation strategies. We investigated genetic extinction debt and colonization credit in broad‐leaved enchanter's nightshade ( Circaea lutetiana ), a clonal forest understory species, across its European range. Using pooled genotype‐by‐sequencing data from 40 for...

During the 14th century, the inhabitants of Kutná Hora, an important urban centre in the Kingdom of Bohemia, were exposed to recurrent mortality crises. Using stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes, this study investigates the relationship between diet and the famine of 1318 and the plague outbreaks after 1346. Together with a comparative sample from regular graves, a total of 112 bone samples were collected, supplemented by 70 f...
