    • Bacterially produced metabolites protect C. elegans neurons from degeneration 
      Urrutia, Arles; Garcia-Angulo, Victor A.; Cortés Fuentes, Andrés; Caneo, Mauricio; Legüe, Marcela; Urquiza, Sebastián; Delgado, Scarlett E.; Ugalde, Juan; Burdisso, Paula; Calixto, Andrea (Public Library Science, 2020)
      Caenorhabditis elegans and its cognate bacterial diet comprise a reliable, widespread model to study diet and microbiota effects on host physiology. Nonetheless, how diet influences the rate at which neurons die remains ...
    • Interspecies effectors of a transgenerational memory of bacterial infection in Caenorhabditis elegans 
      Legüe, Marcela; Caneo, Mauricio; Águila, Blanca; Pollak Williamson, Bernardo; Calixto, Andrea (CellPress, 2022)
      The inheritance of memory is an adaptive trait. Microbes challenge the immunity of organisms and trigger behavioral adaptations that can be inherited, but how bacteria produce inheritance of a trait is unknown. We use ...
    • The heritability of behaviors associated with the host gut microbiota 
      Manterola Zúñiga, Marcia Carolina; Palominos, M. Fernanda; Calixto, Andrea (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      What defines whether the interaction between environment and organism creates a genetic memory able to be transferred to subsequent generations? Bacteria and the products of their metabolism are the most ubiquitous biotic ...
