    • Lavandero González, Sergio; Chiong Lay, Mario; Rothermel, Beverly A.; Hill, Joseph A. (American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2015)
      Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. As such, there is great interest in identifying novel mechanisms that govern the cardiovascular response to disease-related stress. First described in failing ...
    • Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Torrealba, Natalia; Fernández, Carolina; Gatica, Damián; Toro, Barbra; Quiroga, Clara; Rodríguez, Andrea E.; Sánchez, Gina; Gillette, Thomas G.; Hill, Joseph A.; Donoso Laurent, Paulina; Lavandero González, Sergio (the European Society of Cardiology, 2013)
      Aims Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective mechanism for the degradation of soluble cytosolic proteins bearing the sequence KFERQ. These proteins are targeted by chaperones and delivered to lysosomes where ...
    • Lavandero González, Sergio; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Rotherme, Beverly; Martinet, Wim; Sadoshima, Junichi; Hill, Joseph (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2013)
      Despite recent scientific and technological advances, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Autophagy, an evolutionarily ancient response to cellular stress, has been ...
    • Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Altamirano, Francisco; Hernández Fuentes, Carolina; Tong, Dan; Kyrychenko, Victoriia; Rotter, David; Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Hill, Joseph A.; Eisner, Verónica; Lavandero González, Sergio; Schneider, Jay W.; Rothermel, Beverly A. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2018)
      Rationale: The regulator of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1) inhibits CN (calcineurin), a Ca2+-activated protein phosphatase important in cardiac remodeling. In humans, RCAN1 is located on chromosome 21 in proximity to the Down ...
    • Kim, Soo Young; Zhang, Xin; Schiattarella, Gabriele G.; Altamirano, Francisco; Ramos, Thais; French, Kristin M.; Jiang, Nan; Szweda, Pamela A.; Evers, Bret M.; May, Herman; Luo, Xiang; Li, Hongliang; Szweda, Luke; Maracajá Coutinho, Vinicius; Lavandero González, Sergio; Gillette, Thomas G.; Hill, Joseph A. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020)
      BACKGROUND: BET (bromodomain and extraterminal) epigenetic reader proteins, in particular BRD4 (bromodomain-containing protein 4), have emerged as potential therapeutic targets in a number of pathological conditions, ...
    • Ferdous, Anwarul; Wang, Zhao V.; Luo, Yuxuan; Li, Dan L.; Luo, Xiang; Schiattarella, Gabriele G.; Altamirano, Francisco; May, Herman I.; Battiprolu, Pavan K.; Nguyen, Annie; Rothermel, Beverly A.; Lavandero González, Sergio; Gillette, Thomas G.; Hill, Joseph A. (Nature, 2020)
      Forkhead box O (FoxO) proteins and thyroid hormone (TH) have well established roles in cardiovascular morphogenesis and remodeling. However, specific role(s) of individual FoxO family members in stress-induced growth and ...
    • Battiprolu, Pavan K.; Hojayev, Berdymammet; Jiang, Nan; Wang, Zhao V.; Luo, Xiang; Iglewski, Myriam; Shelton, John M.; Gerard, Robert D.; Rothermel, Beverly A.; Gillette, Thomas G.; Lavandero González, Sergio; Hill, Joseph A. (2012)
      The leading cause of death in diabetic patients is cardiovascular disease; diabetic cardiomyopathy is typified by alterations in cardiac morphology and function, independent of hypertension or coronary disease. However, ...
    • Iglewski, Myriam; Hill, Joseph A.; Lavandero González, Sergio; Rothermel, Beverly A. (2010)
      Sustained hypertension promotes structural, functional and metabolic remodeling of cardiomyocyte mitochondria. As long-lived, postmitotic cells, cardiomyocytes turn over mitochondria continuously to compensate for changes ...
    • Morales, Cyndi R.; Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Lavandero González, Sergio; Hill, Joseph A. (Mary Ann Liebert, 2014)
      Significance: Autophagy is an evolutionarily ancient process of intracellular protein and organelle recycling required to maintain cellular homeostasis in the face of a wide variety of stresses. Dysregulation of reactive ...
    • Cao, Dian J.; Lavandero González, Sergio; Hill, Joseph A. (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2015)
