T-type Ca2+ Channels: T for Targetable
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-01-17)In the last decade TTCC have been unveiled as key regulators of cancer cells biology and thus have been proposed as chemotherapeutic targets. Indeed in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that TTCC pharmacological blockers ... -
T-type calcium channels drive migration/invasion in BRAFV600E melanoma cells through Snail1
(Wiley, 2018)Melanoma is a malignant tumor derived from melanocytes. Once disseminated, it is usually highly resistant to chemotherapy and is associated with poor prognosis. We have recently reported that T-type calcium channels (TTCCs) ... -
T-Type Calcium Channels: A Potential Novel Target in Melanoma
(MDPI, 2020)T-type calcium channels (TTCCs) are overexpressed in several cancers. In this review, we summarize the recent advances and new insights into TTCC biology, tumor progression, and prognosis biomarker and therapeutic potential ... -
T-type Cav3.1 channels mediate progression and chemotherapeutic resistance in glioblastoma
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2019)T-type Ca2+ channels (TTCC) have been identified as key regulators of cancer cell cycle and survival. In vivo studies in glioblastoma (GBM) murine xenografts have shown that drugs able to block TTCC in vitro (such as ... -
Tagging long-lived individuals through vitamin-D receptor (VDR) haplotypes
(Springer, 2010)Longevity is a complex phenomenon involving multiple environmental and biological factors. Genetic studies of longevity have focussed on DNA repair, oxidative damage correction and immune-related genes. Vitamin-D works by ... -
Target of rapamycin activation predicts lifespan in fruit flies
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-09)Aging and age-related diseases are one of the most important health issues that the world will confront during the 21st century. Only by understanding the proximal causes will we be able to find treatments to reduce or ... -
Targeting T-type channels in cancer: what is on and what is off?
(Elsevier, 2022)Over the last 20 years several studies have demonstrated a pivotal role of T‐type calcium channels (TTCCs) in tumor progression. Cytotoxic effects of TTCC pharmacological blockers have been reported in vitro and in preclinical ... -
Tau inhibits mitochondrial calcium efflux and makes neurons vulnerable to calciuminduced cell death
(Elsevier, 2020-03)Aggregation or phosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau is the pathological hallmark in a number of diseases termed tauopathies, which include the most common neurodegenerative disorder, Alzheimer’s disease; ... -
TControl: A mobile app to follow up tobacco-quitting patients
(Elsevier, 2017-04)Background and Objective Tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for a wide range of respiratory and circulatory diseases in active and passive smokers. Well-designed campaigns are raising awareness to the problem and an ... -
Techo de cristal y desigualdades de género en la carrera profesional de las mujeres académicas e investigadoras en ciencias biomédicas
(Elsevier, 2019)Objetivo: Identificar, en la literatura científica internacional, los obstáculos y factores potencialmente favorecedores para el avance durante su carrera profesional de las mujeres académicas e investigadoras en ciencias ... -
Telomeric repeat factor 1 protein levels correlates with telomere length in colorectal cancer
(Sociedad Española de Patología Digestiva; Arán Ediciones, 2012)Background: colorectal cancer is the third cancer cause of death in Spain. It is important to investigate new tumoral markers for early diagnosis, disease monitoring and prevention strategies. Telomeres protect the ... -
Tenosynovitis with rice body formation presenting as a cutaneous abscess
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014)A 62-year-old woman with a past medical history of rheumatoid arthritis was referred to the Department of Dermatology because of an enlarging cutaneous lesion on the right thumb which resembled a soft tissue infection. ... -
Testosterone and disinhibited personality in healthy males
(Elsevier, 2016-06-15)The relationship among testosterone (T), free testosterone (FT), bioavailable testosterone (BT) and personality were studied in a sample of 105 healthy males (26.71±9.68 years old). The possible effects of age and other ... -
Tetralol derivative NNC-55-0396 induces glioblastoma cell death by activating IRE1α, JNK1 and calcium signaling
(Elsevier, 2022-04-04)Mibefradil and NNC-55-0396, tetralol derivatives with a proven ability to block T-type calcium channels in excitable cells, reduce cancer cell viability in vitro, causing cell death. Furthermore, they reduce tumor growth ... -
TGF-β-Induced transcription sustains amoeboid melanoma migration and dissemination
(Elsevier, 2015)Cell migration underlies metastatic dissemination of cancer cells, and fast “amoeboid” migration in the invasive fronts of tumors is controlled by high levels of actomyosin contractility. How amoeboid migration is regulated ... -
The active form of vitamin D, calcitriol, induces a complex dual upregulation of endothelin and nitric oxide in cultured endothelial cells
(American Physiological Society, 2014)Despite the presence of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in endothelial cells, the effect of vitamin D on endothelial function is unknown. An unbalanced production of vasoactive endothelial factors such as nitric oxide (NO) or ... -
The advanced lipoxidation end-product malondialdehyde-lysine in aging and longevity
(MDPI, 2020-11-01)The nonenzymatic adduction of malondialdehyde (MDA) to the protein amino groups leads to the formation of malondialdehyde-lysine (MDALys). The degree of unsaturation of biological membranes and the intracellular oxidative ... -
The AMPK family member Snf1 protects Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells upon glutatione oxidation
(Public Library of Science, 2013)The AMPK/Snf1 kinase has a central role in carbon metabolism homeostasis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, we show that Snf1 activity, which requires phosphorylation of the Thr210 residue, is needed for protection ... -
The Aurora-B-dependent NoCut checkpoint prevents damage of anaphase bridges after DNA replication stress
(Nature, 2016)Anaphase chromatin bridges can lead to chromosome breakage if not properly resolved before completion of cytokinesis. The NoCut checkpoint, which depends on Aurora B at the spindle midzone, delays abscission in response ... -
