    • Arredondo, Miguel; Tapia, Victoria; Rojas, Alejandro; Aguirre, Pabla; Reyes, Francisca; Marzolo, Maria Paz; Núñez González, Marco (2006)
      Mutations in the HFE gene result in hereditary hemochromatosis, a disorder of iron metabolism characterized by increased intestinal iron absorption. Based on the observation that ectopic expression of HFE strongly inhibits ...
    • 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 ...
    • Urrutia, Pamela J.; Aguirre, Pabla; Esparza, Andrés; Tapia, Victoria; Mena, Natalia P.; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel Armando; González Billault, Christian; Núñez González, Marco (2013)
      Inflammation and iron accumulation are present in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases that include Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The study of the putative association between inflammation and iron ...
    • Aguirre, Pabla; Mena, Natalia; Tapia, Victoria; Arredondo, Miguel; Núñez González, Marco (2005)
      Background: Iron is necessary for neuronal function but in excess generates neurodegeneration. Although most of the components of the iron homeostasis machinery have been described in neurons, little is known about the ...
    • Núñez González, Marco; Urrutia, Pamela J.; Mena, Natalia; Aguirre, Pabla; Tapia, Victoria; Salazar, Julio (2012)
      Iron is an essential element for life on earth, participating in a plethora of cellular processes where one-electron transfer reactions are required. Its essentiality, coupled to its scarcity in aqueous oxidative environments, ...
    • Aguirre, Pabla; García Beltrán, Olimpo; Tapia, Victoria; Muñoz, Yorka; Cassels Niven, Bruce; Núñez González, Marco (American Chemical Society, 2017)
      © 2016 American Chemical Society.Disturbed iron homeostasis, often coupled to mitochondrial dysfunction, plays an important role in the progression of common neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). ...
    • Muñoz, Yorka; Carrasco, Carlos M.; Campos, Joaquín D.; Aguirre, Pabla; Núñez González, Marco (Hindawi Publishing Corp, 2016)
      Mitochondrial dysfunction, iron accumulation, and oxidative damage are conditions often found in damaged brain areas of Parkinson's disease. We propose that a causal link exists between these three events. Mitochondrial ...
    • Aguirre, Pabla; Urrutia, Pamela J.; Tapia, Victoria; Villa, Monica; Paris Pizarro, Irmgard; Segura Aguilar, Juan; Núñez González, Marco (2012)
      Hallmarks of idiopathic and some forms of familial Parkinson's disease are mitochondrial dysfunction, iron accumulation and oxidative stress in dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. There seems to be a causal link ...
