    • González Bergas, Fermín; Ortiz, Carolina; Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Dutzan Muñoz, Nicolás; Patel, Vyomesh; Pereda, Cristián; Gleisner Muñoz, María Alejandra; López Nitsche, Mercedes; Gutkind, J. Silvio; Salazar Onfray, Flavio (John Wiley & Sons Ltd,, 2014)
      We have previously reported a novel method for the production of tumour-antigen-presenting cells (referred to as TAPCells) that are currently being used in cancer therapy, using an allogeneic melanomaderived cell lysate ...
    • Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Silva, Patricio; Venegas, Sebastián; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo; Torres Gómez, Vicente (Wiley, 2020)
      Potentially malignant lesions, commonly referred to as dysplasia, are associated with malignant transformation by mechanisms that remain unclear. We recently reported that increased Wnt secretion promotes the nuclear ...
    • Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Maturana Ramírez, Andrea; Torres Gómez, Vicente (Elsevier, 2019)
      Objectives: To evaluate the localization of β-catenin in oral dysplastic cells, the expression of target genes upregulated in oral dysplasia, and the role of Wnt ligands in these events. Materials and methods: Subcellular ...
    • Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Rodríguez Peña, Marcelo; Burgos Bravo, Francesca; Vergara, Ángelo; Kretschmar Montecinos, Catalina; Sotomayor Flores, Cristián; Ramírez Sarmiento, César A.; De Smedt, Humbert; Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Pérez, William; Torres Gómez, Vicente; Morselli, Eugenia; Altamirano, Francisco; Wilson, Christian; Hill, Joseph A.; Lavandero González, Sergio; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo (Taylor & Francis, 2020)
      Macroautophagy/autophagy is an intracellular process involved in the breakdown of macromolecules and organelles. Recent studies have shown that PKD2/PC2/TRPP2 (polycystin 2, transient receptor potential cation channel), a ...
    • Rivas, Solange; Silva, Patricio; Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Sepúlveda, Hugo; Solano, Luis; Acuña, Juan; Guerrero, Marisol; Varas Godoy, Manuel; Quest, Andrew F. G.; Montecino, Martín; Torres Gómez, Vicente (Nature, 2020)
      Tumor hypoxia and the hypoxia inducible factor-1, HIF-1, play critical roles in cancer progression and metastasis. We previously showed that hypoxia activates the endosomal GTPase Rab5, leading to tumor cell migration and ...
    • Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Flores Lillo, Tania; Betancur, Diego; Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Torres Gómez, Vicente (MDPI, 2020)
      Oral carcinogenesis is a complex and multifactorial process that involves cumulative genetic and molecular alterations, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation, impaired DNA repair and defective cell death. At the ...
