    • 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 ...
    • Regulatory T cell phenotype and anti osteoclastogenic function in experimental periodontitis 
      Álvarez, Carla; Suliman, Salwa; Almarhoumi, Rawan; Vega, María Elena; Rojas, Carolina; Monasterio, Gustavo; Galindo, Mario; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando; Kantarci, Alpdogan (Nature, 2020)
      The alveolar bone resorption is a distinctive feature of periodontitis progression and determinant for tooth loss. Regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) display immuno-suppressive mechanisms and tissue repairing functions, which ...
    • Regulatory T lymphocytes in periodontitis: A translational view 
      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 ...
