The autonomy of different aspects of Sjögren´s syndrome and their treatment in an experimental model: the use of comprehensive biomarker analyses to characterize the disease and the effect of heat-shock proteins in treatment intervention
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-06-20)Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a systemic rheumatic disease, in which the salivary and lacrimal glands are the principal targets of a pathological autoimmune reaction. Clinically, SS is manifested by keratoconjunctivitis sicca ... -
AXL targeting by a specific small molecule or monoclonal antibody inhibits renal cell carcinoma progression in an orthotopic mice model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)AXL tyrosine kinase activation enhances cancer cell survival, migration, invasiveness, and promotes drug resistance. AXL overexpression is typically detected in a high percentage of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) and is ... -
AXL targeting reduces fibrosis development in experimental unilateral ureteral obstruction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) is involved in partial epithelial-tomesenchymal transition (EMT) and inflammation – both main promoters of renal fibrosis development. The study aim was to investigate the role of AXL ... -
Axl-inhibitor bemcentinib alleviates mitochondrial dysfunction in the unilateral ureter obstruction murine model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Renal fibrosis is a progressive histological manifestation leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. In previous work, we showed that Bemcentinib, an Axl receptor tyrosine kinase ... -
B-type natriuretic peptide and high sensitive C-reactive protein predict 2-year all cause mortality in chest pain patients: a prospective observational study from Salta, Argentina
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-29)Background: Several mechanisms are involved in the pathophysiology of the Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). We have addressed whether B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in admission ... -
