    • Kuljiš, Rodrigo O.; Colom, Luis V.; Rojo, Leonel E. (Frontiers Media, 2014)
      Schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease are two disorders that, while conceptualized as pathophysiologically and clinically distinct, cause substantial cognitive and behavioral impairment worldwide, and target apparently ...
    • Robles Planells, Claudia; Barrera Ávalos, Carlos; Rojo, Leonel E.; Spencer, Eugenio; Cortez San Martín, Eugenio; Matiacevich, Silvia; Pavez, Jorge; Milla, Luis A.; Navarro, Franco D.; Martínez, Brandon A; Bravo, Francisco J.; Mella, Andrea; Huidobro Toro, Juan Pablo; Fernández, Ricardo; Escobar Álvarez, Alejandro; Acuña Castillo, Claudio (Hindawi, 2020)
      Reovirus is known to have an anticancer effect in both the preclinical and clinical assays. Current evidence suggests that the reovirus-mediated impact on tumor growth depends on the activation of specific antitumor immune ...
    • Robles Planells, Claudia; Sánchez-Guerrero, Giselle; Barrera Ávalos, Carlos; Matiacevich, Silvia; Rojo, Leonel E.; Pavéz, Jorge; Salas Huenuleo, Edison; Kogan, Marcelo J.; Escobar Álvarez, Alejandro; Milla, Luis A.; Fernández, Ricardo; Imarai, Mónica; Spencer, Eugenio; Huidobro Toro, Juan Pablo; Acuña Castillo, Claudio (Hindawi, 2020)
      Oncolytic virus therapy has been tested against cancer in preclinical models and clinical assays. Current evidence shows that viruses induce cytopathic effects associated with fusogenic protein-mediated syncytium formation ...
    • Morales, Jonathan; Barrera Avalos, Carlos; Castro, Carlos; Castillo, Stephanie; Barrientos, Claudio; Robles Planells, Claudia; López, Ximena; Torres, Ernesto; Montoya, Margarita; Cortez San Martin, Marcelo; Riquelme, Denise; Escobar Álvarez, Alejandro; Fernández, Ricardo; Imarai, Mónica; Sauma Mahaluf, Daniela; Rojo, Leonel E.; Leiva Salcedo, Elias; Acuña Castillo, Claudio (Frontiers media SA, 2017)
      Antigen cross-presentation is a crucial step in the assembly of an antitumor immune response leading to activation of naive CD8 T cells. This process has been extensively used in clinical trials, in which dendritic cells ...
    • Castillo, Rolando I.; Rojo, Leonel E.; Henríquez Henríquez, Marcela; Silva Ibarra, Hernán; Maturana Hurtado, Alejandro; Villar, María J.; Fuentes, Manuel; Gaspar Ramos, Pablo (Frontiers Media, 2016)
      Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a prevalent and severe comorbidity observed in schizophrenia (SZ). The exact nature of this association is controversial and very often accredited to the effects of psychotropic medications and ...
    • Neumann, Karen F.; Rojo, Leonel; Navarrete, Leonardo P.; Farías, Gonzalo; Reyes, Paula; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo (BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2008-10)
      Hyperinsulinemia as well as type II diabetes mellitus are among the risk factors for Alzheimer´s disease (AD). However, the molecular and cellular basis that link insulin resistance disorders and diabetes with AD are far ...
    • Campo, Andrea del; Bustos, Catalina; Mascayano, Carolina; Acuña Castillo, Claudio; Troncoso, Rodrigo; Rojo, Leonel E. (Frontiers Media SA, 2018)
      Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are known to increase cardiovascular risk through several physiological mechanisms, including insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, hyperphagia, and accelerated weight gain. There ...
    • Díaz Castro, Francisco; Monsalves Álvarez, Matías; Rojo, Leonel E.; Campo, Andrea del; Troncoso, Rodrigo (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      A growing body of research indicates that cortisol, the glucocorticoid product of the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, plays a role in the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome. In this regard, chronic ...
    • Lavados Montes, Manuel; Guillón Moretti, Marta; Mujica, María Cristina; Rojo, Leonel; Fuentes, Patricio; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo (IOS PRESS, 2008)
      Oxidative stress constitutes a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Recent studies also point to redox active metals such as iron, copper and zinc in mediating oxidative stress in AD pathogenesis. However, the reactivity ...
    • Andrade, Víctor; Cortés, Nicole; Pastor, Gabriela; González, Andrea; Ramos Escobar, Nicolás; Pastene, Edgar; Rojo, Leonel E.; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo (IOS Press, 2020)
      Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial disease, that involves neuroinflammatory processes in which microglial cells respond to "damage signals". The latter includes oligomeric tau, iron, oxidative free ...
    • Rojo, Leonel E.; Fernández, Jorge A.; Maccioni, Andrea A.; Jiménez, José M.; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo (2008)
      During the past few years, an increasing set of evidence has supported the major role of deregulation of the interaction patterns between glial cells and neurons in the pathway toward neuronal degeneration. Neurons and ...
    • Rojo, Leonel E.; Alzate Morales, Jans; Saavedra, Iván N.; Davies, Peter; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo (IOS Press, 2010)
      We describe the interactions of two benzimidazole derivatives, astemizole (AST) and lansoprazole (LNS), with anomalous aggregates of tau protein (neurofibrillary tangles). Interestingly, these compounds, with important ...
    • Calfio, Camila; González, Andrea; Singh, Sandeep Kumar; Rojo, Leonel E.; Maccioni, Ricardo B. (IOS Press, 2020)
      One of the major challenges of medical sciences has been finding a reliable compound for the pharmacological treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As most of the drugs directed to a variety of targets have failed in finding ...
