La caracterización farmacológica de la proteína receptora GABAA, ha puesto de manifiesto la existencia de tres sitios de unión para benzodiazepinas, con alta, media y baja afinidad para la imidazopiridina zolpidem. La distribución de estos tres sitios de unión es heterogénea dentro del sistema nervioso de la rata. estos sitios de unión se...

Aging is a biological and multifactorial process characterized by a progressive and irreversible deterioration of the physiological functions leading to a progressive increase in morbidity. In the next decades, the world population is expected to reach ten billion, and globally, elderly people over 80 are projected to triple in 2050....

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the forefront the intricate relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and its impact on neurological complications, including potential links to neurodegenerative processes, characterized by a dysfunction of the protein quality control systems and ER stress. This review article explores the role of protein quality...

Electrical pulse stimulation has been used to enhance the differentiation or proliferation of neuronal progenitor cells in tissue engineering and cancer treatment. Therefore, a comprehensive investigation of the effects caused by its parameters is crucial for improvements in those fields. We propose a study of pulse parameters, to allow the...

Proteostasis alteration and neuroinflammation are typical features of normal aging. We have previously shown that neuroinflammation alters cellular proteostasis through immunoproteasome induction, leading to a transient decrease of proteasome activity. Here, we further investigated the role of acute lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hippocampal...

We have investigated the age-dependent modifications in the expression of eight different subunits of the γ-aminobutyric acid, type A (GABAA) receptor (α1, α2, α3, α5, β2, β3, γ2S, and γ2L) and all four subunits of the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylsoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) receptor (GluR1–4) in the hippocampus of 24-month-old rats. All aged...

We have investigated the existence, molecular composition, and benzodiazepine binding properties of native cortical α1-α3 γ- aminobutyric acid(A) (GABA(A)) receptors using subunit-specific antibodies. The co-existence of α1 and α3 subunits in native GABA(A) receptors was demonstrated by immunoblot analysis of the anti-α1- or anti-α3-...

Targeting the ubiquitin proteasome pathway has emerged as a rational approach in the treatment of human cancers. Autophagy has been described as a cytoprotective mechanism to increase tumor cell survival under stress conditions. Here, we have focused on the role of proteasome inhibition in cell cycle progression and the role of autophagy in the...
