Neutrophil deregulation biomarker assays: ColgateRecent Research Landscape

Subclinical tissue degradation in the oral cavity leads to irreversible periodontal damage if undetected. Engineering specific biomarker detection thresholds allows for early diagnostic intervention and precise treatment monitoring.

What technical problems is Colgate addressing in Neutrophil deregulation biomarker assays?

Inaccurate oral inflammation assessment

(7)evidences

Subtle systemic changes in healthy tissues and fluid-based biomarkers are difficult to detect and quantify accurately. Capturing these early signals allows for the diagnosis of conditions like dry mouth before irreversible tissue damage occurs.

Inaccurate biofilm resistance assessment

(2)evidences

Standard testing methods fail to replicate the complex environment of the oral cavity during high-throughput screening. Solving this allows for more predictive assessment of how hygiene products mitigate neutrophil-driven tissue damage.
