Jordi MuntanéDr. Muntané's scientific career has been all devoted to the study of the relevance of oxidative and nitrosative stress in cell proliferation and death in different experimental models and clinical settings such as acute hepatocellular injury and hepaocarcinoma. The relevance of the temporal, dose and compartmentalization of nitric oxide (NO) release has been related to cytotoxicity, as well as the cytoprotective properties of classical antioxidants, prostanoids and alpha-tocopherol in different experimental models of liver injury. The anti-tumoral properties of NO has also been demonstrated using NO-donors and nitric oxide synthase type III (NOS3) overexpression in in vivo and in vitro models. The involvement of NO in the antitumoral properties of the molecular recommended therapies for patients with advanced hepatocarcinoma, such as the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Sorafenib, has also been studied comprehensively by Dr. Muntané's lab.
