    • Enhanced cellular uptake of H-chain human ferritin containing gold nanoparticles 
      Moglia Fernández, Ítalo Arnoldo; Margarita, Santiago; Guerrero, Simón; Soler Jauma, Mónica; Olivera Nappa, Alvaro María; Kogan, Marcelo Javier (MDPI, 2021)
      Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) capped with biocompatible layers have functional optical, chemical, and biological properties as theranostic agents in biomedicine. The ferritin protein containing in situ synthesized AuNPs has ...
    • Iron-induced oxidative damage in colon carcinoma (Caco-2) cells 
      Núñez González, Marco; Tapia, Victoria; Toyokuni, Shinya; Okada, Shigeru (Harwood Academic Publishers GmbH, 2001)
      Intestinal epithelial cells have an active apical iron uptake system that is involved in the regulated absorption of iron. By the action of this system, intestinal cells acquire increasing amounts of iron with time. Since ...
    • Superoxide-dependent reduction of free Fe3+ and release of Fe2+ from ferritin by the physiologically-occurring ... 
      Aliaga, Margarita; Carrasco Pozo, Catalina; López Alarcón, Camilo; Olea Azar, Claudio; Speisky Cosoy, Hernán (2011)
      The intracellularly-occurring Cu(I)-glutathione complex (Cu(I)-[GSH](2)) has the ability to reduce molecular oxygen into superoxide radicals (O-2(center dot-)). Based on such ability, we addressed the potential of this ...
    • The cellular mechanisms of body iron homeostasis 
      Nũnez, Marco T.; Garate, Marco A.; Arredondo, Miguel; Tapia, Victoria; Muñoz, Patricia (Society of Biology of Chile, 2000)
      Cells tightly regulate iron levels through the activity of iron regulatory proteins (IRPs) that bind to RNA motifs called iron responsive elements (IREs). When cells become iron-depleted. IRPs bind to IREs present in the ...
