      Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent age-associated neurodegenerative disease. A decrease in autophagy during aging contributes to brain disorders by accumulating potentially toxic substrates in neurons. Rubicon ...
    • Delgado, Carolina; Vergara, Rodrigo C.; Martínez, Melissa; Musa, Gada; Henríquez, Fernando; Slachevsky Chonchol, Andrea (IOS Press, 2019)

    • Zambrano, Cristian A.; Egaña, José T.; Núñez González, Marco; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo; González Billault, Christian (2004)
      Oxidative stress has been demonstrated to produce modifications in several intracellular proteins that lead to alterations in their activities. Alzheimer's disease is related to an increase of oxidative stress markers, ...
    • Uribe Arias, Alejandro; Posada Duque, Rafael Andres; González Billault, Christian; Villegas, Andrés; Lopera, Francisco; Cardona Gómez, Gloria Patricia (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
      Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) plays important roles in synaptic function. Its unregulated over-activation has been, however, associated with neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. Our previous studies revealed that ...
    • Tapia Muñoz, Thamara; Slachevsky Chonchol, Andrea; León-Campos, María O.; Madrid, Michel; Caqueo-Urízar, Alejandra; Rohde, Gustav C.; Miranda-Castillo, Claudia (BioMed Central, 2019)
      Background: The needs of people with dementia (PWD) have not been assessed in any Latin American country. Several European countries have already related unmet needs with quality of life, caregiver's age, burden, stress, ...
    • Nitrini, Ricardo; Bottino, Cássio M.C.; Albala Brevis, Cecilia; Custodio Capuñay, Nilton Santos; Ketzoian, Carlos; Llibre Rodriguez, Juan J.; Maestre, Gladys E.; Ramos-Cerqueira, Ana Teresa A.; Caramelli, Paulo (2009)
      Background: Dementia is becoming a major public health problem in Latin America (LA), yet epidemiological information on dementia remains scarce in this region. This study analyzes data from epidemiological studies on the ...
    • Sáez, Estefanía T.; Pehar, Mariana; Vargas, Marcelo R.; Barbeito, Luis; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo (2006)
      Reactive astrocytes surround amyloid depositions and degenerating neurons in Alzheimer's disease (AD). It has been previously shown that β-amyloid peptide induces inflammatory-like responses in astrocytes, leading to ...
    • Tapia-Saavedra, Alexis (2007)
      Multiple lines of evidence have implicated oxidative stress and free radical damage to the pathogenesis and etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Amyloid-beta peptide contributes to oxidative damage in AD by inducing lipid ...

      Exposure to air pollutants is associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD pathological hallmarks and cognitive deficits are documented in children and young adults in polluted cities (e.g. ...
    • Cárdenas, Ana María; Ardiles, Álvaro O.; Barraza, Natalia; Báez Matus, Ximena; Caviedes, Pablo (Elsevier, 2012)
      Neurodegenerative disorders constitute a growing concern worldwide. Their incidence has increased steadily, in particular among the elderly, a high-risk population that is becoming an important segment of society. ...
    • Orellana, Daniel I.; Quintanilla, Rodrigo A.; González Billault, Christian; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo (Springer New York LLC, 2005)
      Recent studies show that inflammation has an active role in the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. It is known that in response to extracellular insults microglia and/or astrocytes produce inflammatory agents. These ...
    • Cornejo, Alberto; Aguilar Sandoval, Felipe; Caballero, Leonardo; Machuca, Luis; Muñoz, Patricio; Caballero, Julio; Perry, George; Ardiles, Alejandro; Areche Medina, Carlos; Melo, Francisco (Taylor & Francis, 2017)
