      BACKGROUND: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans expresses several virulence factors that may contribute to the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Based on the antigenicity of the O-polysaccharide component of the ...
    • 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 ...
    • Díaz Zúñiga, Jaime; Melgar Rodríguez, Samanta; Monasterio, Gustavo; Pujol, Myriam; Rojas, Leticia; Alvarez, Carla; Carvajal, Paola; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando (Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
      Objective: In Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, different serotypes have been described based on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigenicity. When T lymphocytes were stimulated with these serotypes, different patterns of ...

      Background and Objective: Over the past few years, the importance of interleukin-22 (IL-22) and T-helper (Th)22 lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of periodontitis has become apparent; however, there are still aspects that ...
    • Monasterio, Gustavo; Guevara, José; Ibarra, Juan; Castillo, Francisca; Díaz Zúñiga, Jaime; Alvarez, Carla; Cafferata, Emilio; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando (Springer Verlag, 2018)
      Objectives Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by tooth-supporting tissue destruction, which is elicited by the host’s immune response triggered against periodonto-pathogen bacteria. During ...

      © 2018 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. All rights reserved Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease, in which the host immuno-inflammatory response against the dysbiotic subgingival biofilm leads ...
    • Alvarez, Carla; Rojas Rojas, Carolina Andrea; Rojas, Leticia; Cafferata, Emilio A.; Monasterio, Gustavo; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando (Hindawi Ltd, 2018)
      Periodontitis is a chronic immuno-inflammatory disease in which the disruption of the balance between host and microbiota interactions is key to the onset and progression of the disease. The immune homeostasis associated ...
    • Rojas, Leticia; Melgar Rodríguez, Samanta; Díaz Zúñiga, Jaime; Alvarez, Carla; Monasterio, Gustavo; Rojas, Carolina; Carvajal, Paola; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando (Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
      Objective: In Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, different serotypes have been described based on LPS antigenicity. Mixed infection with the different A. actinomycetemcomitans serotypes is frequent in periodontitis ...
