Long-term cigarette smoking suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation in oral mucosal epithelium and attenuates host defense against Candida albicans in a rat model

Long-term cigarette smoking suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation in oral mucosal epithelium and attenuates host defense against Candida albicans in a rat model

Cigarette smoke (CS) exposure and Candida albicans (C. albicans) infection are epidemiological risk factors for oral diseases, such as oral leukoplakia (OLK). Smoking-induced inflammation and immune modulation are potentially important mechanisms in the development of diseases, although the biologic...
