Overview

Tatsuji Nishihara is affiliated with Kyushu Dental University in Japan. The research primarily focuses on fields such as Dentistry, Medicine, and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with significant contributions in related subfields including Periodontics, Molecular Biology, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Physiology, and Rheumatology.

The main topics of research encompass oral microbiology and periodontitis, HIV/AIDS oral health manifestations, dental health and care utilization, the impact of COVID-19 on dental research, osteoarthritis treatment and mechanisms, NF-κB signaling pathways, and obstructive sleep apnea research.

Recent notable publications by Nishihara include:

  • Co-cultured spheroids of human periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells and vascular endothelial cells enhance periodontal tissue regeneration, 2020, Regenerative Therapy
  • Interruption of regular dental visits during the COVID-19 pandemic due to concerns regarding dental visits was associated with periodontitis in Japanese office workers, 2021, Journal of Periodontal Research
  • Schizophyllum commune β-glucan: Effect on interleukin-10 expression induced by lipopolysaccharide from periodontopathic bacteria, 2020, Carbohydrate Polymers
  • Odontoblast differentiation is regulated by an interplay between primary cilia and the canonical Wnt pathway, 2021, Bone
  • Electrochemical Characterization of Current-Producing Human Oral Pathogens by Whole-Cell Electrochemistry, 2020, ChemElectroChem

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Nishihara include:

  • Wataru Ariyoshi
  • Michihiko Usui
  • Keisuke Nakashima
  • Masanori Iwasaki
  • Yoshie Nagai-Yoshioka

Nishihara's work has been published repeatedly in key scientific journals, such as:

  • Journal Of Clinical Periodontology
  • Scientific Reports
