Periodontitis Primes the Oral Microenvironment for PS-Dependent Non-Canonical Entry Pathways Linked to SARS-CoV-2 Susceptibility
2026-04-13
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> SARS-CoV-2 infection extends beyond the respiratory tract, with the oral cavity emerging as a critical site of viral activity shaped by epithelial receptor expression, microbial interactions, and inflammatory status. Periodontal disease (PD), a chronic dysbiotic condition, may heighten susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 through inflammation-driven upregulation of non-canonical viral entry p...
