Data detailed in 'Effects of a topically applied bioadhesive berry gel on loss of heterozygosity indices in premalignant oral lesions' have been presented. According to recent research from the United States, "The aim of this study was to assess the effects of topical application of a 10% (w/w) freeze-dried black raspberry (FBR) gel on oral intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN) variables that included histologic diagnoses and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) indices.

"Previously, our...
