      Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer among women worldwide and it is characterized by a high morbidity. Curcumin is a naturally occurring compound derived from the rhizome of Curcuma longa and is known to ...
    • Calaf, Gloria M.; Ponce-Cusi, Richard; Aguayo González, Francisco; Muñoz, Juan P.; Bleak, Tammy C. (Spandidos, 2020)
      Evaluation of carcinogenic substances from the environment is a challenge for scientists. Recently, a novel approach based on 10 key characteristics of human carcinogens classified by the International Agency for Research ...
    • Aguayo González, Francisco; Muñoz, Juan P.; Pérez Domínguez, Francisco; Carrillo Beltrán, Diego; Estibaliz Oliva, Carolina; Calaf, Gloria M.; Blanco, Rances; Núñez Acurio, Daniela (MDPI, 2020)
      Cervical, anogenital, and some head and neck cancers (HNC) are etiologically associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection, even though additional cofactors are necessary. Epidemiological studies have ...

      Rationale: The ability of a cell to independently regulate nuclear and cytosolic Ca2+ signaling is currently attributed to the differential distribution of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor channel isoforms in the ...
    • Calaf, Gloria M.; Bleak, Tammy C.; Muñoz, Juan P.; Aguayo, Francisco (Spandidos, 2020)
      Breast cancer is a major health problem and accounted for 11.6% of all new cancer cases and 6.6% of all cancer deaths among women worldwide in 2018. However, its etiology has remained elusive. According to epidemiological ...
