(Mary Ann Liebert, 2020)
      Background: Although most thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology are benign, in most of the world, surgery remains as the most frequent diagnostic approach. We have previously reported a 10-gene thyroid genetic ...
    • Urrutia, Pamela J.; Aguirre, Pabla; Tapia, Victoria; Carrasco, Carlos M.; Mena, Natalia P.; Núñez González, Marco (Elsevier, 2017)
      Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage, often accompanied by elevated intracellular iron levels, are pathophysiological features in a number of neurodegenerative processes. The question arises as to whether ...

      In this Letter we present a new probe, (E)-7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde oxime (JB), which can detect Cu2+ ions in HEPES buffer under physiological conditions. Benesi–Hildebrand and Job plots demonstrate ...
    • Bulteau, Anne Laure; Mena, Natalia P.; Auchere, Francoise; Lee, Irene; Prigent, Annick; Lobsiger, Christian S.; Camadro, Jean Michel; Hirsch, Etienne C. (Elsevier, 2017)
      Compelling evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and protein oxidation could represent a critical event in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). ...

      Two fluorescence probes for the detection of cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH) and other biothiols, such as homocysteine (Hcy) and cysteinyl-glycine (Cys-Gly), were developed. These molecular probes are coumarin-based ...
    • Urrutia, Pamela J.; Mena, Natalia P.; Núñez González, Marco (Frontiers Media SA, 2014)
      A growing set of observations points to mitochondrial dysfunction, iron accumulation, oxidative damage and chronic inflammation as common pathognomonic signs of a number of neurodegenerative diseases that includes Alzheimer's ...
