    • Humanized mouse models for the study of periodontitis: An opportunity to elucidate unresolved aspects of ... 
      Rojas, Carolina; García, Michelle P.; Polanco, Alan F.; González Osuna, Luis; Sierra Cristancho, Alfredo José; Melgar Rodríguez, Samanta Azucena; Cafferata Chea, Emilio Alfredo; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando Marcelo (Frontiers Media, 2021)
      Periodontitis is an oral inflammatory disease in which the polymicrobial synergy and dysbiosis of the subgingival microbiota trigger a deregulated host immune response, that leads to the breakdown of tooth-supporting ...
    • Micro-tomographic characterization of the root and canal system morphology of mandibular first premolars ... 
      Sierra Cristancho, Alfredo José; González Osuna, Luis; Poblete, Daniela; Cafferata Chea, Emilio Alfredo; Carvajal Pavez, Paola Lorena; Lozano Moraga, Carla Paola; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando Marcelo (Nature, 2021)
      This study aimed to analyze the root anatomy and root canal system morphology of mandibular first premolars in a Chilean population. 186 teeth were scanned using micro-computed tomography and reconstructed three-dimensionally. ...
    • Natural Killer T (NKT) cells and periodontitis: potential regulatory role of NKT10 cells 
      Melgar Rodríguez, Samanta Azucena; Cafferata Chea, Emilio Alfredo; Díaz, Nicolás I.; Peña, Miguel A.; González Osuna, Luis; Rojas, Carolina; Sierra Cristancho, Alfredo José; Cárdenas, Angélica M.; Díaz Zúñiga, Jaime; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando Marcelo (Hindawi, 2021)
      Natural killer T (NKT) cells constitute a unique subset of T lymphocytes characterized by specifically interacting with antigenic glycolipids conjugated to the CD1d receptor on antigen-presenting cells. Functionally, NKT ...
    • Patient satisfaction and survival of maxillary overdentures supported by four or six splinted implants: a ... 
      Di Francesco, Fabrizio; De Marco, Gennaro; Capcha, Estefani B.; Lanza, Alessandro; Cristache, Corina M.; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando Marcelo; Cafferata Chea, Emilio Alfredo (BMC, 2021)
      Background Implant-supported overdentures offer enhanced mechanical properties, which lead to better patient satisfaction and survival rates than conventional dentures. However, it is unclear whether these satisfaction ...
    • Premature senescence of T-cells favors bone loss during osteolytic diseases. A new concern in the osteoimmunology ... 
      González Ouna, Luis Gustavo; Sierra Cristancho, Alfredo José; Rojas Pérez, Carolina Isabel; Cafferata Chea, Emilio Alfredo; Melgar Rodríguez, Samanta Azucena; Cárdenas Gutiérrez, Angélica María; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando Marcelo (International Society on Aging and Disease, USA, 2021)
      Cellular senescence is a biological process triggered in response to time-accumulated DNA damage, which prioritizes cell survival over cell function. Particularly, senescent T lymphocytes can be generated prematurely during ...
    • Senescent CD4+CD28− T lymphocytes as a potential driver of Th17/Treg imbalance and alveolar bone resorption ... 
      González Oosuna, Luis Gustavo; Sierra Cristancho, Alfredo José; Cafferata Chea, Emilio Alfredo; Melgar Rodríguez, Samanta Azucena; Rojas Pérez, Carolina Isabel; Carvajal Pavez, Paola Lorena; Cortez, Cristian; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando Marcelo (MDPI, 2022)
      Senescent cells express a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) with a pro-inflammatory bias, which contributes to the chronicity of inflammation. During chronic inflammatory diseases, infiltrating CD4(+) T ...
    • The influence of flap design on patients' experiencing pain, swelling, and trismus after mandibular third ... 
      De Marco, Gennaro; Lanza, Alessandro; Cristache, Corina M.; Capcha, Estefani B.; Espinoza, Karen I.; Rullo, Rosario; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando Marcelo; Cafferata Chea, Emilio Alfredo; Di Francesco, Fabrizio (Universidade de Sao Paulo Faculdade de Odontologia, Brasil, 2021)
      Third molar removal surgery usually comes accompanied by postoperative discomfort, which could be influenced by the surgical approach chosen. This scoping systematic review aimed at compiling the available evidence focused ...
