      Periodontitis is a low-grade inflammatory disease caused by a subgingival dysbiotic microbiota. Multiple studies have determined the higher prevalence of tooth loss and poor oral hygiene in patients with Alzheimer's disease ...
    • Morselli, Eugenia; Santos, Roberta de Souza; Gao, Su; Avalos, Yenniffer; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo; Palmer, Biff F.; Clegg, Deborah J. (American Physiological Society, 2018-07)
      Estrogens and their receptors play key roles in regulating body weight, energy expenditure, and metabolic homeostasis. It is known that lack of estrogens promotes increased food intake and induces the expansion of adipose ...
    • Miranda-Castillo, Claudia; Tapia, Franco Mascayano; Herrera, Andrea Roa; Ghigliotto, Franco Maray; Guerra, Luciana Serraino (2013)
      Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is a psychosocial intervention for people with dementia that has been successful in Anglo-Saxon population. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of CST in a sample of ...
    • Armijo, Enrique; Edwards, George; Flores, Andrea; Vera Buschmann, Jorge Alejandro; Shahnawaz, Mohammad; Moda, Fabio; González, César; Sanhueza Toha, María Magdalena; Soto, Claudio (MDPI, 2021)

    • Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo; Navarrete, Leonardo P.; González, Andrea; González Canacer, Alejandra; Guzmán Martínez, Leonardo; Cortes, Nicole (IOS Press, 2020)
      Several hypotheses have been postulated to explain how Alzheimer's disease is triggered, but none of them provide a unified view of its pathogenesis. The dominant hypothesis based on build-ups of the amyloid-beta peptide ...
    • Alvarez, Alejandra; Toro, Rodrigo; Cáceres, Alfredo; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo (1999)
      The key target of this study was the tau protein kinase II system (TPK II) involving the catalytic subunit cdk5 and the regulatory component p35. TPK II is one of the tau phosphorylating systems in neuronal cells, thus ...
