    • Defective Wound-healing in Aging Gingival Tissue 
      Cáceres Lluch, Mónica Andrea; Oyarzún, A.; Smith, P. C. (Sage, 2014)
      Aging may negatively affect gingival wound-healing. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. The present study examined the cellular responses associated with gingival wound-healing in ...
    • Digital scanning is more accurate than using a periodontal probe to measure the keratinized tissue width 
      Lee, Jung-Seok; Jeon, Yoon-Sun; Strauss Avendaño, Franz; Jung, Hoi-In; Gruber, Reinhard (Nature, 2020)
      This study aimed to compare the accuracy and reliability of digital versus conventional clinical measurements of the width of keratinized tissue. To this end, the keratinized tissue width was measured at 110 tooth sites ...
    • The IL-17/Th17 Axis as a Therapeutic Target in Periodontitis 
      Dutzan Muñoz, Nicolás; Abusleme Ramos, Loreto Andrea; Moutsopoulos, Niki (Springer, 2020)
      The Th17/IL-17 axis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases including psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontitis. Indeed, in periodontitis, recent studies have further ...
    • Uncoupled inflammatory, proliferative, and cytoskeletal responses in senescent human gingival fibroblasts 
      Páez, Jassir; Hernández, Romina; Espinoza, Javier; Rojas, Leticia; Martínez, Constanza E.; Tobar Bachler, Nicolás; Martínez Winkler, Jorge; Smith, Patricio C. (Wiley, 2020)
      Background and objective: Aging is characterized by a decline in tissue structure and function that may be explained by the development of cellular senescence. However, the acquisition of specific phenotypic responses in ...
