At the forefront of our research in organ cross-talk, we utilize state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology with mCT to explore complex biological processes in unparalleled detail. Our expertise in high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging enables the precise analysis of periodontal remodeling, particularly under systemic diseases or mechanical stimuli, offering valuable insights into the dynamic interactions between soft and hard tissues.
The unique capabilities of high-resolution mCT allow for non-invasive, detailed visualization of changes not only in the periodontium—especially the periodontal ligament—but also in other body parts such as long bones and vital organs. This technology enhances our understanding of systemic effects and tissue interactions, providing a broader context for studying organ interchange and the interconnectedness of body systems.
With this advanced imaging platform, we aim to push the boundaries of organ cross-talk research, deepening our understanding of tissue responses across different systems and facilitating the development of innovative treatments.
