Plaque-Associated Oligomeric Amyloid-Beta Drives Early Synaptotoxicity in APP/PS1 Mice Hippocampus: Ultrastructural Pathology Analysis
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by initial memory impairments that progress to dementia. In this sense, synaptic dysfunction and loss have been established as the pathological ...

Galectin-3 is upregulated in frontotemporal dementia patients with subtype specificity
(Wiley, 2023-11)
INTRODUCTION Neuroinflammation is a major contributor to the progression of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a microglial activation regulator, holds promise as a therapeutic target and potential biomarker. ...
Article
HERC 1 Ubiquitin Ligase Mutation Affects Neocortical, CA3 Hippocampal and Spinal Cord Projection Neurons: An Ultrastructural Study
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
The spontaneous mutation tambaleante is caused by the Gly483Glu substitution in the highly conserved N terminal RCC1-like domain of the HERC1 protein, which leads to the increase of mutated protein levels responsible for ...
Article
Galectin-3 shapes toxic alpha-synuclein strains in Parkinson's disease.
(Springer, 2023)
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative and progressive disorder characterised by intracytoplasmic inclusions called Lewy bodies (LB) and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Aggregated ...
Article
Phages in Food Industry Biocontrol and Bioremediation
(MDPI, 2021)
Bacteriophages are ubiquitous in nature and their use is a current promising alternative in biological control. Multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial strains are present in the livestock industry and phages are attractive ...
Article
Elongation factor 2-diphthamide is critical for translation of two IRES-dependent protein targets, XIAP and FGF2, under oxidative stress conditions
(Elsevier, 2013)
Elongation factor-2 (eEF2) catalyzes the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA. A single histidine residue in eEF2 (H715) is modified to form diphthamide. A role for eEF2 in cellular stress responses is highlighted by ...
Article
Enzymatic Preparation of Mushroom By-product Protein Hydrolysates (Mb-PPHs)
(Springer, 2023-08-14)
The excessive use of chemical fertilizers can cause severe environmental damage. In recent decades, the application of biostimulants to improve soil composition and stimulate plant growth has contributed significantly to ...
Article
In vitro and in Vivo Protection by Melatonin Against the Decline of Elongation Factor-2 Caused by Lipid Peroxidation: Preservation of Protein Synthesis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)
As organisms age, a considerable decrease in protein synthesis takes place in all tissues. Among the possible causes of the decline of translation in old animals are the modifications of elongation factor-2 (eEF- 2). eEF-2 ...
Article
APOE in the bullseye of neurodegenerative diseases: impact of the APOE genotype in Alzheimer’s disease pathology and brain diseases
(Springer Nature, 2022)
ApoE is the major lipid and cholesterol carrier in the CNS. There are three major human polymorphisms, apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4, and the genetic expression of APOE4 is one of the most influential risk factors for the ...
Article
Galectin-3 is elevated in CSF and is associated with A beta deposits and tau aggregates in brain tissue in Alzheimer's disease
(Springer, 2022)
Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a beta-galactosidase binding protein involved in microglial activation in the central nervous system (CNS). We previously demonstrated the crucial deleterious role of Gal-3 in microglial activation ...
