Impact of NOX2 Deficiency on Oral Microbiome in Ligature-Induced Periodontitis
This project investigates the role of NOX2 (CYBB) in shaping the oral microbiome during ligature-induced periodontitis in mice. Using 16S rRNA sequencing, we compare the microbiota profiles of wild-type and Cybb knockout mice to assess how NOX2 deficiency influences the composition and diversity of the oral microbiome in periodontal disease.
