    • Nanomedicine and nanotoxicology: the pros and cons for neurodegeneration and brain cancer 
      Catalán Figueroa, Johanna; Palma Florez, Sujey; Alvarez, Gonzalo; Fritz, Hans F.; ara, Miguel O.; Morales, Javier O. (Future Medicine Ltd., 2016)
      Current strategies for brain diseases are mostly symptomatic and noncurative. Nanotechnology has the potential to facilitate the transport of drugs across the blood-brain barrier and to enhance their pharmacokinetic ...
    • On the neurotoxicity mechanism of leukoaminochrome o-semiquinone radical derived from dopamine oxidation: ... 
      Arriagada, C.; Paris Pizarro, Irmgard; Matas, M. J. S. de las; Martínez Alvarado, P.; Cárdenas, S.; Castañeda, P.; Graumann, Rebecca; Pérez Pastene, C.; Olea Azar, Claudio; Couve, E.; Herrero, M. T.; Caviedes Fernández, Pablo; Segura Aguilar, Juan (ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2004-07)
      Leukoaminochrome o-semiquinone radical is generated during one-electron reduction of dopamine oxidation product aminochrome when DT-diaphorase is inhibited. Incubation of 100 muM aminochrome with 100 muM dicoumarol, an ...
    • Oxidative stress activates the c-Abl/p73 proapoptotic pathway in Niemann-Pick type C neurons 
      Klein, Andres; Maldonado, Carola; Vargas, Lina M.; Gonzalez, Marcela; Robledo, Fermín; Perez de Arce, Karen; Muñoz, Francisco J.; Hetz Flores, Claudio; Alvarez, Alejandra R.; Zanlungo, Silvana (2011)
      Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the intralysosomal accumulation of cholesterol leading to neuronal apoptosis. We have previously reported the activation of the c-Abl/p73 proapoptotic ...
