    • Américo-Da-Silva, Luan; Diaz, Jheimmy; Bustamante, Mario; Mancilla, Georthan; Oyarzún, Ingrid; Verdejo, Hugo E.; Quiroga, Clara (FASEB, 2018)
      © FASEB. Bone integrity depends on a finely tuned balance between bone synthesis by osteoblasts and resorption by osteoclasts. The secretion capacity of mature osteoblasts requires strict control of proteostasis. Endoplasmic ...
    • Gabrielli, Luigi; Ocaranza, María Paz; Sitges, Marta; Kanacri, Andrés; Saavedra, Rodrigo; Sepúlveda, Pablo; Sepúlveda, Luis; Rossel, Víctor; Zagolin, Mónica; Verdejo, Hugo E.; Baraona, Fernando; Zalaquett Sepúlveda, Ricardo; Chiong Lay, Mario; Lavandero González, Sergio; Castro, Pablo F. (Blackwell, 2017)
      Background: Right atrium function and ventricular function have significant prognos-tic value in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients. Acute changes in right ventricu-lar synchrony and right atrium function postiloprost ...
    • Morales, Pablo E.; Arias Durán, Carla; Ávalos Guajardo, Yáreni; Aedo, Geraldine; Verdejo, Hugo E.; Parra Ortiz, Valentina; Lavandero González, Sergio (Elsevier, 2020)
      Healthy mitochondrial function is imperative for most tissues, but especially those with a high energy demand. Robust evidence linking mitochondrial dysfunction with cardiovascular disease has demonstrated that mitochondrial ...
    • Campo, Andrea del; Roldán, Juan; Verdejo, Hugo E.; Zalaquett Sepúlveda, Ricardo; Becerra, Elia; Navarro Márquez, Mario; Mellado, Rosemarie; Lavandero González, Sergio; Corbalán, Ramón; García Nannig, Lorena; Chiong Lay, Mario (Elsevier, 2017)
      Background: Increased inflammation biomarkers plasma levels, including C-reactive protein (CRP), have been associated with the initiation and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is not known whether an ...
    • Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Bravo Sagua, Roberto; Norambuena Soto, Ignacio; Hernández Fuentes, Carolina; Gómez Contreras, Andrés; Verdejo, Hugo E.; Mellado, Rosemarie; Chiong Lay, Mario; Lavandero González, Sergio; Castro, Pablo F. (Elsevier, 2017)
      Chronic hypoxia exacerbates proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC), thereby reducing the lumen of pulmonary arteries. This leads to poor blood oxygenation and cardiac work overload, which are the ...
    • Parra, Valentina; Verdejo, Hugo E.; Iglewski, Myriam; Del Campo, Andrea; Troncoso, Rodrigo; Jones, Deborah; Zhu, Yi; Kuzmicic Previtali, Jovan Paolo; Pennanen, Christian; López Crisosto, Camila; Jaña, Fabián; Ferreira, Jorge; Noguera, Eduard; Chiong Lay, Mario; Bernlohr, David A.; Klip, Amira (2014)
      Insulin regulates heart metabolism through the regulation of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Studies have indicated that insulin can also regulate mitochondrial function. Relevant to this idea, mitochondrial function ...
    • Primo, Emiliano N.; Kogan Bocian, Marcelo; Verdejo, Hugo E.; Bollo Dragnic, Soledad; Rubianes, María D.; Rivas, Gustavo A. (American Chemical Society, 2018)
      © 2018 American Chemical Society. We report the first optical biosensor for the novel and important cardiac biomarker, galectin-3 (Gal3), using the anti-Gal3 antibody as a biorecognition element and surface plasmon resonance ...
    • Del Campo, Andrea; Parra, Valentina; Vásquez Trincado, César Alonso; Gutiérrez, Tomás; Morales, Pablo E.; López Crisosto, Camila; Bravo Sagua, Roberto; Navarro Márquez, Mario F.; Verdejo, Hugo E.; Contreras Ferrat, Ariel Eduardo; Troncoso, Rodrigo; Chiong Lay, Mario; Lavandero González, Sergio (2014)
      Insulin is a major regulator of glucose metabolism, stimulating its mitochondrial oxidation in skeletal muscle cells. Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that can undergo structural remodeling in order to cope with these ...
