      Background: CLCA is a family of metalloproteases that regulate Ca2+-activated Cl- fluxes in epithelial tissues. In HEK293 cells, CLCA1 promotes membrane expression of an endogenous Anoctamin 1 (ANO1, also termed ...
    • Edwards, Sandra Sofía; Delgado, María Graciela; Nader, Guilherme Pedreira de Freitas; Piel, Matthieu; Bellaïche, Yohanns; Lennon Duménil, Ana María; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2018)
      © 2018Thanks to the power of Drosophila genetics, this animal model has been a precious tool for scientists to uncover key processes associated to innate immunity. The fly immune system relies on a population of macrophage-like ...
    • Delgado, María Graciela; Oliva, Carlos; López, Estefanía; Ibacache, Andrés; Galaz, Alex; Delgado, Ricardo; Barros, L. Felipe; Sierralta, Jimena (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
      The intercellular transport of lactate is crucial for the astrocyte-to-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS), a model of brain energetics according to which neurons are fueled by astrocytic lactate. In this study we show that the ...
