    • Biomechanical characterization of the passive response of the thoracic aorta in chronic hypoxic newborn ... 
      Rivera, Eugenio; Canales, Claudio; Pacheco, Matías; García Herrera, Claudio; Macías, Demetrio; Celentano, Diego J.; Herrera Videla, Emilio Augusto (Nature, 2021)
      The present study involves experiments and modelling aimed at characterizing the passive structural mechanical behavior of the chronic hypoxic lamb thoracic aorta, whose gestation, birth and postnatal period were carried ...
    • Genome sequencing and transcriptomic analysis of the andean killifish orestias ascotanensis reveals adaptation ... 
      Di Genova, Alex; Nardocci, Gino; Maldonado Agurto, Rodrigo Alejandro; Hodar Quiroga, Christian Eduardo; Valdivieso, Camilo; Morales, Pamela; Gajardo, Felipe; Marina, Raquel; Gutiérrez, Rodrigo A.; Orellana, Ariel; Cambiazo Ayala, Liliana Verónica; González Canales, Mauricio Alejandro; Glavic Maurer, Alvaro Alberto; Mendez Torres, Marco Antonio; Maass Sepúlveda, Alejandro Eduardo; Allende Connelly, Miguel Luis; Montecino, Martin A. (Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2021)
      Orestias ascotanensis (Cyprinodontidae) is a teleost pupfish endemic to springs feeding into the Ascotan saltpan in the Chilean Altiplano (3,700 m.a.s.l.) and represents an opportunity to study adaptations to high-altitude ...
    • Geochemistry of metals and metalloids in siliceous sinter deposits: Implications for elemental partitioning ... 
      Sánchez Yáñez, Camilo; Reich Morales, Martín; Leisen, Mathieu; Morata Céspedes, Diego; Barra, Fernando (Elsevier, 2017)
      Sinter deposits are formed by precipitation of silica from hydrothermal fluids that have reached the surface environment. They are commonly found around hot springs and represent surface expressions of underlying geothermal ...
    • Omega3 Supplementation and Intermittent Hypobaric Hypoxia Induce Cardioprotection Enhancing Antioxidant ... 
      Herrera Videla, Emilio; Farías, Jorge; González Candia, Alejandro; Short, Stefania; Carrasco Pozo, Catalina; Castillo Peñaloza, Rodrigo (MDPI, 2015)
      Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IH) is linked with oxidative stress, impairing cardiac function. However, early IH also activate cardio-protective mechanisms. Omega 3 fatty acids (Ω3) induce cardioprotection by reducing ...
    • The placental pursuit for an adequate oxidant balance between the mother and the fetus 
      Herrera, Emilio A.; Krause, Bernardo; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Reyes, Roberto V.; Casanello, Paola; Parra Cordero, Mauro; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014)
      The placenta is the exchange organ that regulates metabolic processes between the mother and her developing fetus. The adequate function of this organ is clearly vital for a physiologic gestational process and a healthy ...
    • Ω3 supplementation and intermittent hypobaric hypoxia induce cardioprotection enhancing antioxidant mechanisms ... 
      Herrera, Emilio A.; Farías, Jorge G.; González Candia, Alejandro; Short, Stefania E.; Carrasco Pozo, Catalina; Castillo, Rodrigo L. (MDPI, 2015)
