Vidal-Valenzuela, Isabel; Torres-Vargas, José Antonio; García-Caballero, Melissa; Medina-Torres, Miguel Ángel; Rodríguez-Quesada, Ana María (2023)
The potential of marine organisms to yield bioactive molecules is vast and largely unexplored. Significantly, certain bioactive compounds derived from the marine environment have already received approval as anticancer ... -
Antioxidant potential of an anthraquinone metabolite isolated from a marine fungus.
Vidal-Valenzuela, Isabel; Torres-Vargas, José Antonio; García-Caballero, Melissa; Medina-Torres, Miguel Ángel; Rodríguez-Quesada, Ana María (2023)
Marine ecosystem is a fruitful source of many pharmacologically active. In particular, a number of marine anthraquinones and their derivatives, have been studied for their potential as anticancer and antimetastatic agents, ... -
Antitumor activity of Toluquinol
Torres-Vargas, José Antonio; Sounni, Nor Eddine; Medina-Torres, Miguel Ángel; Rodríguez-Quesada, Ana María; García-Caballero, Melissa (2022)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide, with more than 1.85 million cases and 850.000 deaths annually1. Currently, the primary methods for treating CRC are surgery, radiotherapy ... -
Bringing Light to Science Undergraduate Students: A Successful Laboratory Experiment Illustrating the Principles and Applications of Bioluminescence
García-Ponce, Ángel Luis; Torres-Vargas, José Antonio; García-Caballero, Melissa; Medina, Miguel ángel; Blanco-López, Ángel; Rodríguez-Quesada, Ana María[et al.] (ACS Publications, 2021)
Although many laboratory experiments are available to illustrate spectrophotometric or fluorometric methods, few of them introduce the use of luminometry to students. Bioluminescence, a subtype of chemiluminescence, ... -
Characterization of the activity and the mechanism of action of a new toluquinol derivative with improved potential as an antiangiogenic drug.
Torres-Vargas, José Antonio; Cheng-Sánchez, Iván; Martínez-Póveda, Beatriz Amparo; Medina-Torres, Miguel Ángel; Sarabia-García, Francisco Ramón; García-Caballero, Melissa; Rodríguez-Quesada, Ana María[et al.] (Elsevier, 2022-09-30)
The inhibition of sustained angiogenesis is an attractive approach for the treatment of cancer, blindness and other angiogenesis-dependent diseases. Encouraged by our previous finding that toluquinol, a methyl hydroquinone ... -

Lipid droplet degradation by autophagy connects mitochondria metabolism to Prox1-driven expression of lymphatic genes and lymphangiogenesis.
(SpringerNature, 2022-05-19)Autophagy has vasculoprotective roles, but whether and how it regulates lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) homeostasis and lymphangiogenesis is unknown. Here, we show that genetic deficiency of autophagy in LEC impairs ... -
