    • Capsular-defective Porphyromonas gingivalis mutant strains induce less alveolar bone resorption than W50 ... 
      Monasterio, Gustavo; Fernández, Baltasar; Castillo, Francisca; Rojas, Carolina; Cafferata, Emilio A.; Rojas, Leticia; Alvarez, Carla; Fernández, Alejandra; Hernández, Marcela; Bravo, Denisse; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando (Wiley-Blackwell, 2019)
      Background: Encapsulation of Porphyromonas gingivalis has been demonstrated as responsible of several host immunological changes, which have been associated with the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Using a murine model of ...
    • Distribution of biopsied non plaque-induced gingival lesions in a Chilean population according to the ... 
      Hernández Ríos, Patricia; Espinoza Santander, Iris; Salinas, Macarena; Rodríguez Castro, Fernando; Baeza, Mauricio; Hernández, Marcela (BMC, 2018-06-19)
      Background: Many gingival lesions are not induced by plaque. The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency of biopsied non-plaque-induced gingival lesions (NPIGL) in a Chilean population. Methods: One thousand ...
    • Elevated Systemic Inflammatory Burden and Cardiovascular Risk in Young Adults with Endodontic Apical Lesions 
      Garrido, Mauricio; Cárdenas, Angélica M.; Astorga, Jessica; Quinlan, Francisca; Valdés, Macarena; Chaparro, Alejandra; Carvajal, Paola; Pussinen, Pirkko; Huamán-Chipana, Patricia; Jalil Milad, Jorge; Hernández, Marcela (Elsevier Inc., 2019)
      Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess whether apical lesions are associated with inflammatory serum markers of cardiovascular risk, especially high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), in young adults. ...
    • Fasciola hepatica coinfection modifies the morphological and immunological features of Echinococcus granulosus ... 
      Hidalgo, Christian; Stoore, Caroll; Hernández, Marcela; Paredes, Rodolfo (BMC, 2020)
      Polyparasitism occurs when animals harbour multiple parasites concomitantly. It is a common occurrence but is generally understudied in wild and domestic animals. Fasciola hepatica and Echinococcus granulosus, which are ...
    • First description of echinococcus ortleppi and cystic echinococcosis infection status in Chile 
      Correa, Felipe; Stoore, Caroll; Horlacher, Pamina; Jiménez, Mauricio; Hidalgo, Christian; Rojas, Cristian A.; Barros, Guilherme Figueiredo; Ferreira, Henrique Bunselmeyer; Hernández, Marcela; Navarro Cabrera, Gonzalo; Paredes, Rodolfo (Public library science, 2018-05-17)
      Cystic echinococcosis (CE), a parasitic disease caused by the cestode Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.), is a worldwide zoonotic infection. Although endemic in Chile, information on the molecular characteristics ...
    • Interleukin-35 inhibits alveolar bone resorption by modulating the Th17/Treg imbalance during periodontitis 
      Cafferata, Emilio; Terraza Aguirre, Claudia; Barrera, Romina; Faúndez, Nicolás; González, Nicolás; Rojas, Carolina; Melgar Rodríguez, Samanta; Hernández, Marcela; Carvajal, Paola; Cortez, Cristian; González, Fermín; Covarrubias, Cristian; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando (Wiley, 2020)
      Aim T lymphocytes play a central role during the pathogenesis of periodontitis, and the imbalance between the pathogenic T-helper type 17 (Th17) and protective T-regulatory (Treg) lymphocytes determines the tooth-supporting ...
    • Levels of the interleukins 17A, 22, and 23 and the S100 protein family in the gingival crevicular fluid of ... 
      Witker Jiménez, Constanza; Carvajal Aguilera, Daniela; Hernández, Marcela; Valenzuela Ahumada, Fernando; Astorga, Jessica; Fernández, Alejandra (Elsevier, 2021)
      Background: Psoriasis and periodontitis are immunologically mediated chronic inflammatory diseases. Epidemiologic evidence has linked both; however, the change of markers in gingival crevicular fluid has been poorly ...
    • MMP-8, TRAP-5, and OPG levels in GCF diagnostic potential to discriminate between healthy patients’, mild ... 
      Hernández, Marcela; Baeza Paredes, Mauricio; Contreras Balbontín, Johanna; Sorsa, Timo; Tervahartiala, Taina; Valdés Salgado, Macarena; Chaparro, Alejandra; Hernández Ríos, Patricia (MDPI, 2020)
      Biomarkers represent promising aids in periodontitis, host-mediate diseases of the tooth-supporting tissues. We assessed the diagnostic potential of matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5 ...
    • New insights of the local immune response against both fertile and infertile hydatid cysts 
      Hidalgo, Christian; Stoore, Caroll; Strull, Karen; Franco, Carmen; Corrêa, Felipe; Jiménez, Mauricio; Hernández, Marcela; Lorenzatto, Karina; Ferreira, Henrique B.; Galanti Garrone, Norbel; Paredes, Rodolfo (Public Library of Science, 2019)
      Background Cystic echinococcosis is caused by the metacestode of the zoonotic flatworm Echinococcus granulosus. Within the viscera of the intermediate host, the metacestode grows as a unilocular cyst known as hydatid cyst. ...
    • 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 ...
    • Zinc oxide and copper nanoparticles addition in universal adhesive systems improve interface stability on ... 
      Gutiérrez, Mario Felipe; Bermúdez, Jorge; Dávila Sánchez, Andrés; Alegría Acevedo, Luisa; Méndez Bauer, Luján; Hernández, Marcela; Astorga, Jessica; Reis, Alessandra; Loguercio, Alessandro D.; Farago, Paulo V.; Fernández Godoy, Eduardo (Elsevier, 2019)
