    • Determinants of Periodontal/Periapical Lesion Stability and Progression 
      Cavalla Ruiz, Franco; Letra, A.; Silva, R. M.; Garlet, G. P. (SAGE, 2020)
      Periodontal and periapical lesions are infectious inflammatory osteolitytic conditions in which a complex inflammatory immune response mediates bone destruction. However, the uncertainty of a lesion's progressive or stable ...
    • High levels of CXC Ligand 12/stromal cell-derived factor 1 in apical lesions of endodontic origin associated ... 
      Cavalla, Franco; Reyes, Montserrat; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando; Álvarez, Carla; Paredes, Rodolfo; García Sesnich, Jocelyn; Infante, Magdalena; Fariña, Valeska; Barrón, Ignacio; Hernández, Marcela (2013)
      INTRODUCTION: CXC ligand 12/stromal-derived factor-1 (CXCL12/SDF-1) is a pleiotropic chemokine that regulates the influx of a wide range of leukocytes. The aim of this study was to characterize CXCL12/SDF-1 in apical ...
    • High Levels of CXC Ligand 12/Stromal Cell–derived Factor 1 in Apical Lesions of Endodontic Origin Associated ... 
      Cavalla, Franco; Reyes Rojas, Montserrat de los Ángeles; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando; Álvarez, Carla; Paredes, Rodolfo; García Sesnich, Jocelyn; Infante, Magdalena; Fariña, Valeska; Barrón, Ignacio; Hernández Ríos, Marcela (American Association of Endodontists, 2013)
      Introduction: CXC ligand 12/stromal-derived factor-1 (CXCL12/SDF-1) is a pleiotropic chemokine that regulates the influx of a wide range of leukocytes. The aim of this study was to characterize CXCL12/SDF-1 in apical lesions ...
    • Macrophages skew towards M1 profile through reduced CD163 expression in symptomatic apical periodontitis 
      Veloso Matta, Pablo; Fernández, Alejandra; Terraza, Claudia; Álvarez Rivas, Carla; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando; Escobar Álvarez, Alejandro; Hernández Ríos, Emma (Springer, 2020)
      Objectives To explore the macrophage profiles in symptomatic and asymptomatic forms of AP through phenotypic and functional analyses. Material and methods Cross-sectional study. Apical tissue/lesion samples were collected ...
    • Monocyte chemotactic protein-3: possible involvement in apical periodontitis chemotaxis 
      Dezerega Piwonka, Andrea; Osorio Alfaro, Constanza; Mardones Peñailillo, Jeannette Isabel; Mundi, V.; Dutzan Muñoz, Nicolás; Franco Martínez, María Eugenia; Gamonal Aravena, Jorge Antonio; Oyarzún Droguett, Alejandro; Overall, M. C.; Hernández Ríos, Emma (John Wiley & Sons, 2010-10)
      Aim  To study the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-3 (MCP-3, also known as chemokine CCL-7) in tissue from apical lesions (AL) and to associate MCP-3 expression with symptomatic or asymptomatic apical ...
    • Oxidative stress in the local and systemic events of apical periodontitis 
      Hernández Ríos, Patricia; Pussinen, Pirkko J.; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando; Hernández, Marcela (Frontiers Media SA, 2017)
      Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of inflammatory disorders. Apical periodontitis (AP) usually results in the formation of an osteolytic apical lesion (AL) caused by the immune response to ...
    • Prevalence of oral pathologic findings in an ancient pre-Columbian archeologic site in the Atacama Desert 
      Meller, C.; Urzua, I.; Moncada, G.; Von Ohle, C. (2009)
      OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of oral pathologic findings in an ancient culture that inhabited the Atacama Desert. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic examination was performed on the remains of 83 individuals ...
    • Pro-oxidant status and matrix metalloproteinases in apical lesions and gingival crevicular fluid as potential ... 
      Dezerega, Andrea; Madrid, Sonia; Mundi, Veránica; Valenzuela, María; Garrido, Mauricio; Paredes, Rodolfo; García Sesnich, Jocelyn; Ortega, Ana; Gamonal Aravena, Jorge Antonio; Hernández, Marcela (2012)
      Background: Oxidative stress and matrix metalloproteinases -9 and -2 are involved in periodontal breakdown, whereas gingival crevicular fluid has been reported to reflect apical status. The aim of this study was ...
    • Proteomic profiling and differential messenger RNA expression correlate HSP27 and serpin family B member 1 ... 
      Cavalla Ruiz, Ian Franco; Biguetti, Claudia Cristina; Jain, Sameer; Johnson, Cleverick; Letra, Ariadne; Pompermaier Garlet, Gustavo; Menezes Silva, Renato (Elsevier, 2017)
      Introduction: Understanding protein expression profiles of apical periodontitis may contribute to the discovery of novel diagnostic or therapeutic molecular targets. Methods: Periapical tissue samples (n = 5) of patients ...
    • Vascular endothelial growth factor: A translational view in oral non-communicable diseases 
      Niklander, Sven; Bordagaray San Martín, María José; Fernández, Alejandra; Hernández Ríos, Emma Marcela (MDPI, 2021)
      Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are vital regulators of angiogenesis that are expressed in response to soluble mediators, such as cytokines and growth factors. Their physiologic functions include blood vessel ...
