  • Amyloid beta-peptide increases BACE1 translation through the phosphorylation of the eukaryotic initiation factor-2 α
    Picón-Pagès, Pol; Gutiérrez, Daniela A.; Barranco Almohalla, Alejandro; Crepin, Giulia; Tajes Orduña, Marta; Ill-Raga, Gerard, 1982-; Guix Ràfols, Francesc Xavier; Menéndez, Silvia; Arumí Uría, Montserrat; Vicente García, Rubén, 1978-; Álvarez, Alejandra R.; Muñoz López, Francisco José, 1964- (Hindawi, 2020)
    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is tightly linked to oxidative stress since amyloid beta-peptide (Aβ) aggregates generate free radicals. Moreover, the aggregation of Aβ is increased by oxidative stress, and the neurotoxicity ...
  • Amyloid β-peptide causes the permanent activation of CaMKIIα through its oxidation
    Picón-Pagès, Pol; Fanlo-Ucar, Hugo; Herrera-Fernández, Víctor; Ausellé Bosch, Sira; Galera López, Lorena, 1993-; Gutiérrez, Daniela A.; Ozaita Mintegui, Andrés, 1969-; Álvarez, Alejandra R.; Oliva Miguel, Baldomero; Muñoz López, Francisco José, 1964- (MDPI, 2022)
    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by the presence of extracellular amyloid plaques in the brain. They are composed of aggregated amyloid beta-peptide (Aβ) misfolded into beta-sheets which are the cause of the AD ...
  • Glutamatergic stimulation induces GluN2B translation by the nitric oxide-Heme-Regulated eIF2α kinase in cortical neurons
    Ramos Fernández, Eva, 1984-; Tajes Orduña, Marta; Ill-Raga, Gerard, 1982-; Vargas, Lina M.; Busquets Garcia, Arnau, 1985-; Bosch Morató, Mònica, 1986-; Guivernau Almazán, Biuse, 1988-; Valls Comamala, Victòria, 1987-; Gomis González, Maria, 1988-; Grau, Cristina; Fandos, César; Rosen, Mark D.; Rabinowitz, Michael H.; Inestrosa, Nibaldo C.; Maldonado, Rafael, 1961-; Altafaj, Xavier; Ozaita Mintegui, Andrés, 1969-; Álvarez, Alejandra R.; Vicente García, Rubén, 1978-; Valverde, M. A. (Miguel Ángel), 1963-; Muñoz López, Francisco José, 1964- (Impact Journals, 2016)
    The activation of N-Methyl D-Aspartate Receptor (NMDAR) by glutamate is crucial in the nervous system function, particularly in memory and learning. NMDAR is composed by two GluN1 and two GluN2 subunits. GluN2B has been ...
  • Physiological control of nitric oxide in neuronal BACE1 translation by heme-regulated eIF2α kinase HRI induces synaptogenesis
    Ill-Raga, Gerard, 1982-; Tajes Orduña, Marta; Busquets Garcia, Arnau, 1985-; Ramos Fernández, Eva, 1984-; Vargas, Lina M.; Bosch Morató, Mònica, 1986-; Guivernau Almazán, Biuse, 1988-; Valls Comamala, Victòria, 1987-; Eraso Pichot, Abel; Guix Ràfols, Francesc Xavier; Fandos, César; Rosen, Mark D.; Rabinowitz, Michael H.; Maldonado, Rafael, 1961-; Álvarez, Alejandra R.; Ozaita Mintegui, Andrés, 1969-; Muñoz López, Francisco José, 1964- (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2015)
    AIMS: Hippocampus is the brain center for memory formation, a process that requires synaptogenesis. However, hippocampus is dramatically compromised in Alzheimer's disease due to the accumulation of amyloid β-peptide, whose ...
  • Stable complexes involving acetylcholinesterase and amyloid-ß-peptide change the biochemical properties of the enzyme and increase the neurotoxicity of Alzheimer's fibrils
    Álvarez, Alejandra R.; Alarcón Martínez, Rodrigo; Opazo, Carlos M.; Campos, Eliseo O.; Muñoz López, Francisco José, 1964-; Calderón, Frances H.; Dajas, Federico; Gentry, Mary K.; Doctor, Bhupendra P.; Mello, Fernando G. de; Inestrosa, Nibaldo C. (Society for Neuroscience, 1998)
    Brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) forms stable complexes with amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) during its assembly into filaments, in agreement with its colocalization with the Abeta deposits of Alzheimer's brain. The association ...
  • Vitamin E dietary supplementation improves neurological symptoms and decreases c-Abl/p73 activation in niemann-pick C mice
    Marín, Tamara; Contreras, Pablo; Castro, Juan Francisco; Chamorro, David; Balboa, Elisa; Bosch Morató, Mònica, 1986-; Muñoz López, Francisco José, 1964-; Álvarez, Alejandra R.; Zanlungo, Silvana (MDPI, 2014)
    Niemann-Pick C (NPC) disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of free cholesterol in lysosomes. We have previously reported that oxidative stress is the main upstream stimulus activating ...
