      The five senses have had a fundamental importance for survival and socialization of human beings. From an evolutionary point of view the sense of smell is the oldest. This sense has a strong representation within the genome, ...
    • Dezerega Piwonka, Andrea; Pozo, Patricia; Hernández Ríos, Emma; Oyarzún Droguett, Alejandro; Rivera Escobar, Oriana; Dutzan Muñoz, Nicolás; Gutiérrez Fernández, Ana; Overall, Christopher M.; Garrido, Mauricio; Alcota Rojas, Marcela; Ortiz, Emilio; Gamonal Aravena, Jorge Antonio (American Academy of Periodontology, 2010-02)
      Background: Chemokines are central in the activation and direction of leukocyte subsets to target tissues. However, the monocyte chemoattractant protein-3 (MCP-3) has not been associated with chronic periodontitis. Chronic ...
    • Ford, Pauline J.; Gamonal Aravena, Jorge Antonio; Seymour, Gregory J. (John Wiley & Sons, 2010-06)

      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 ...
    • Hernández Ríos, Emma; Gamonal Aravena, Jorge Antonio; Tervahartiala, Taina; Mäntylä, Päivi; Rivera Escobar, Oriana; Dezerega Piwonka, Andrea; Dutzan, N.; Sorsa, T. (American Academy of Periodontology, 2010-11)
      Background: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 is a central mediator in chronic periodontitis. MMP-8 can be activated by the cooperative action of otherMMPs such asMMP-14, reactive oxygen species, andmicrobial proteases. ...
