Transcriptomic profiling reveals selective attenuation of interferon-associated inflammatory signaling and induction of metallothioneins by a zinc-containing oral rinse

Background Oral stromal and epithelial cells contribute to mucosal inflammation through cytokine-induced chemokine production. Essential oil-containing mouth rinses are widely used as adjuncts to oral hygiene, but whether zinc-containing formulations directly modulate host inflammatory signaling remains unclear. This s...
