Induction of collagenolytic MMP-8 and -9 tissue destruction cascade in mouth by head and neck cancer radiotherapy: a cohort study
Brandt, Ella; Keskin, Mutlu; Raisanen, Ismo; Tervahartiala, Taina; Makitie, Antti; Harmankaya, İlknur; Karaçetin, Didem; Hagström, Jaana; Rautava, Jaana; Sorsa, Timo (2023)The effect of head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy (RT) on biomarkers is not known but there is a lot of potential for gaining more precise cancer treatments and less side effects. This cohort study investigated the ... -
Oral cavity beta-defensin levels are regulated differently during radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients
Keskin, Mutlu; Suomi, Emma; Harmankaya, İlknur; Karaçetin, Didem; Sorsa, Timo; Gürsoy, Ulvi Kahraman (MDPI, 2023)Background: Human beta-defensins (hBDs) are small cationic peptides of the epithelium with broad antimicrobial and immune response-regulatory activities. hBDs are also related to oncogenesis, and their secretion profiles ... -
