      Levels of body iron should be tightly controlled to prevent the formation of oxygen radicals. lipoperoxidation. genotoxicity, and the production of cytotoxic cytokines, which result in damage to a number of organs. Enterocytes ...
    • Intravenous administration of anti-inflammatory mesenchymal stem cell spheroids reduces chronic alcohol ... 
      Ezquer, Fernando; Morales Retamales, Paola; Quintanilla González, María Elena; Santapau, Daniela; Lespay Rebolledo, Carolyne; Ezquer, Marcelo; Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario; Israel Jacard, Yedy (Nature, 2018)
      Chronic alcohol intake leads to neuroinflammation and astrocyte dysfunction, proposed to perpetuate alcohol consumption and to promote conditioned relapse-like binge drinking. In the present study, human mesenchymal stem ...
