    • Connexin43 Hemichannels in Satellite Glial Cells, Can They Influence Sensory Neuron Activity? 
      Retamal, Mauricio A.; Riquelme, Manuel A.; Stehberg, Jimmy; Alcayaga Urbina, Julio (Frontiers Media, 2017)
      In this review article, we summarize the current insight on the role of Connexin- and Pannexin-based channels as modulators of sensory neurons. The somas of sensory neurons are located in sensory ganglia (i.e., trigeminal ...
    • Petrosal ganglion: A more complex role than originally imagined 
      Retamal, Mauricio A.; Reyes, Edison P.; Alcayaga Urbina, Julio (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014)
      The petrosal ganglion (PG) is a peripheral sensory ganglion, composed of pseudomonopolar sensory neurons that innervate the posterior third of the tongue and the carotid sinus and body. According to their electrical ...
    • Potential use of n-3 PUFAs to prevent oxidative stress-derived ototoxicity caused by platinum-based chemotherapy 
      Cortés Fuentes, Ignacio A.; Burotto, Mauricio; Retamal, Mauricio A.; Frelinghuysen, Michael; Caglevic, Christian; Gormaz, Juan G. (Elsevier, 2020)
      Platinum-based compounds are widely used for the treatment of different malignancies due to their high effectiveness. Unfortunately, platinum-based treatment may lead to ototoxicity, an often-irreversible side effect without ...
    • Topical Application of Connexin43 Hemichannel Blocker Reduces Carotid Body-Mediated Chemoreflex Drive in Rats 
      Andrade, David C.; Iturriaga, Rodrigo; Toledo, Camilo; Lucero, Claudia M.; Díaz, Hugo S.; Arce-Álvarez, Alexis; Retamal, Mauricio A.; Marcus, Noah J.; Alcayaga Urbina, Julio; Del Rio, Rodrigo (Springer New York LLC, 2018)
      © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature. The carotid body (CB) is the main arterial chemoreceptor involved in oxygen sensing. Upon hypoxic stimulation, CB chemoreceptor cells release ...
