PMID: 40059516
Quercetin (QUE) is a phytoestrogen with known antitumor properties; however, its hydrophobic nature and low bioavailability limit its efficacy as an anticancer drug. To address this, we explored loading QUE...

PMID: 39369938
Quercetin (QUE) is a natural flavonoid with well-known anticancer capabilities, although its effect on viral-induced cancers is less studied. Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a viral cancer caused by the human...

PMID: 36839809
Magnetic nanosystems represent promising alternatives to the traditional diagnostic and treatment procedures available for different pathologies. In this work, a series of biological tests are proposed, aiming to validate a...

Biochimie
. 2022 Apr;
199:46-59.
PMID: 35447220
There is a global trend in the use of natural bioactive compounds to complement conventional therapies in bone diseases. In this work, we studied the effects of the phytoestrogen quercetin...

J Biol Chem
. 2013 Aug;
288(41):29809-20.
PMID: 23963454
The contribution of remodeling-based bone formation coupled to osteoclast activity versus modeling-based bone formation that occurs independently of resorption, to the anabolic effect of PTH remains unclear. We addressed this...

Biochim Biophys Acta
. 2013 Jul;
1833(12):2834-2843.
PMID: 23845990
We have previously demonstrated that parathyroid hormone (PTH) induces apoptosis in human colon adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells but the effects of its tumoral analog PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) in this cell line...

. 2011 Jul;
49(4):636-43.
PMID: 21726676
Mice with constitutive activation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor signaling in osteocytes (DMP1-caPTHR1 transgenic mice) exhibit increased bone mass and remodeling, two of the recognized skeletal actions of PTH. Moreover,...

. 2011 Jun;
112(10):2920-30.
PMID: 21630325
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) promotes osteoblast survival through a mechanism that depends on cAMP-mediated signaling downstream of the G protein-coupled receptor PTHR1. We present evidence herein that PTH-induced survival signaling is...

Arch Biochem Biophys
. 2010 Dec;
507(2):248-53.
PMID: 21167123
We investigated the existence of a bisphosphonate (BP) target site in osteoblasts. Binding assays using [³H]-olpadronate ([³H]OPD) in whole cells showed the presence of specific, saturable and high affinity binding...

PMID: 21140374
The periosteal and endocortical surfaces of cortical bone dictate the geometry and overall mechanical properties of bone. Yet the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate activity on these surfaces are...
