    • Characterization of the novel ST2/IL-33 system in patients with inflammatory bowel disease 
      Beltrán, Caroll J.; Núñez, Lucía E.; Díaz Jiménez, David; Farfán, Nancy; Candia, Enzo; Heine, Claudio; López, Francisco; González Burgos, María Julieta; Quera Pino, Rodrigo; Hermoso Ramello, Marcela (2010)
      Background: ST2 has been proposed to be a regulator of inflammation and Th1/Th2 balance. ST2L is the IL-33 membrane receptor and belongs to the IL-1R family. The soluble variant, ST2s, is identical to the extracellular ...
    • Copper oxide nanoparticles recruit macrophages and modulate nitric oxide, proinflammatory cytokines and ... 
      Arancibia, Sergio; Barrientos, Andrea; Torrejón, Javiera; Escobar, Alejandro; Beltrán, Caroll J. (Future Medicine, 2016)
      Aim: In the present study, we examine the effects of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuNP) on macrophage immune response and the signaling pathways involved. Materials & Methods: A peritonitis model was used to determine in ...
    • Inflammatory bowel diseases: An immunological approach Enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal: Una mirada inmunológica 
      Sepúlveda, Sofía E.; Beltrán, Caroll J.; Peralta, Alexis; Rivas, Paola; Rojas, Néstor; Figueroa, Carolina; Quera Pino, Rodrigo; Hermoso Ramello, Marcela (2008)
      Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are inflammatory diseases with a multifactorial component that involve the intestinal tract. The two relevant IBD syndromes are Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). One factor ...
    • Parasitosis and irritable bowel syndrome Parasitosis y síndrome de intestino irritable 
      Ibarra, Catalina; Herrera, Valentina; Pérez de Arce Oñate, Edith Paola; Gil, Luis Carlos; Madrid, Ana María; Valenzuela, Lucía; Beltrán, Caroll J. (Sociedad Chilena de Infectologia, 2016)
      © 2016, Sociedad Chilena de Infectologia. All rights reserved.Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract characterised by multifactorial aetiology. In IBS physiopathology are ...
    • Peripheral cytokine profile in Chilean patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis 
      Beltrán, Caroll J.; Candia, Enzo; Erranz, Benjamín; Figueroa, Carolina; Gonzalez, Maria J.; Quera Pino, Rodrigo; Hermoso Ramello, Marcela (2009)
      Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) belong to the group of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), with complex ethiopathogenic factors that include an unbalanced immune and inflammatory response to commensal and ...
    • Peripheral cytokine profile in Chilean patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (European ... 
      Beltrán, Caroll J.; Candia, Enzo; Erranz, Benjamín; Figueroa, Carolina; Gonzalez, Maria J.; Quera Pino, Rodrigo; Hermoso Ramello, Marcela (2009)
    • Primary infection by Pneumocystis induces Notch-independent Clara cell mucin production in rat distal airways 
      Méndez, Andrea; Rojas, Diego A.; Ponce, Carolina A.; Bustamante, Rebeca; Beltrán, Caroll J.; Toledo, Jorge; García-Angulo, Victor A.; Henriquez, Mauricio; Vargas, Sergio L. (Public Library of Science, 2019)
      Clara cells are the main airway secretory cells able to regenerate epithelium in the distal airways through transdifferentiating into goblet cells, a process under negative regulation of the Notch pathway. Pneumocystis is ...
    • Progression of type 2 helper T celletype inflammation and airway remodeling in a rodent model of naturally ... 
      Iturra, Pablo; Rojas, Diego A.; Pérez, Francisco J.; Méndez, Andrea; Ponce, Carolina A.; Bonilla, Paula; Bustamante, Rebeca; Rodríguez, Héctor; Beltrán, Caroll J.; Vargas, Sergio L. (Elsevier INC, 2018)
      Subclinical primary Pneumocystisinfection is the most common pulmonary infection in early infancy, making it important to determine whether it damages the lung. Pneumocystis peaks at 2 to 5 months of age, when respiratory ...
    • Soluble ST2: A new and promising activity marker in ulcerative colitis 
      Díaz Jiménez, David; Núñez, Lucía E.; Beltrán, Caroll J.; Candia, Enzo; Suazo, Cristóbal; Álvarez Lobos, Manuel; González Burgos, María Julieta; Hermoso Ramello, Marcela; Quera Pino, Rodrigo (2011)
      AIM: To correlate circulating soluble ST2 (sST2) levels with the severity of ulcerative colitis (UC) and serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and to demonstrate the predictive power of sST2 levels for differentiation ...
    • Toll-like receptors are key participants in innate immune responses 
      Arancibia, Sergio A.; Beltrán, Caroll J.; Aguirre, Isabel M.; Silva, Paulina; Peralta, Alexis L.; Malinarich, Frano; Hermoso Ramello, Marcela (Society of Biology of Chile, 2007)
      During an infection, one of the principal challenges for the host is to detect the pathogen and activate a rapid defensive response. The Toll-like family of receptors (TLRs), among other pattern recognition receptors (PRR), ...
