Capsaicin-sensitive Innervation Modulates the Development of Apical Periodontitis.
Obadah Austah,Nikita B. Ruparel,Michael A. Henry,Roberto J. Fajardo,James E. Schmitz,Anibal R. Diogenes +5 more
TL;DR: A protective role for capsaicin-sensitive neurons in the initial phase of apical periodontitis is identified and interventions or disorders that alter activity of capsaicIn-sensitive fibers are likely to alter the development of apicals periodontritis.

Estimating Mineral Changes in Enamel Formation by Ashing/BSE and MicroCT
James E. Schmitz,J. D. Teepe,Yuanyuan Hu,Charles E. Smith,Charles E. Smith,Roberto J. Fajardo,Yong Hee P Chun +6 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that appropriately calibrated micro-computed tomography (µCT) technology is suitable to estimate the mineral content (weight and/or density) and volume comparable in accuracy with that for directly weighed and sectioned enamel.
Maturation stage enamel malformations in Amtn and Klk4 null mice.
Stephanie M. Nunez,Yong Hee P Chun,Bernhard Ganss,Yuanyuan Hu,Amelia S. Richardson,James E. Schmitz,Roberto J. Fajardo,Jie Yang,Jan C.-C. Hu,James P. Simmer +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that AMTN and KLK4 function independently, but are both necessary for proper enamel maturation.

Type 2 diabetes is associated with vertebral fractures in a sample of clinic- and hospital-based Latinos.
Krista L. Kilpadi,R. ElDabaje,James E. Schmitz,Benjamin Ehler,T. A. Thames,Ajeya P. Joshi,James W. Simmons,Joel E. Michalek,Roberto J. Fajardo +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that vertebral fractures may be a growing concern for diabetic Latinos as well as diabetics of any racial/ethnic background.

Correlation of ameloblastin with enamel mineral content.
John D. Teepe,James E. Schmitz,Yuanyuan Hu,Yoshihiko Yamada,Roberto J. Fajardo,Charles E. Smith,Yong Hee P Chun +6 more
TL;DR: This study quantifies the proportion of mineral and non-mineral material present in developing enamel relative to Ambn concentration using Ambn mutant mice mated with others overexpressing full-length Ambn from the mouse amelogenin promoter at lower (+), similar (++) or higher (+++) concentration than normal.
