      Cells respond to stress by activating cytoplasmic mechanisms as well as transcriptional programs that can lead to adaptation or death. Autophagy represents an important cytoprotective response that is regulated by both ...
    • Morselli, Eugenia; Santos, Roberta de Souza; Gao, Su; Avalos, Yenniffer; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo; Palmer, Biff F.; Clegg, Deborah J. (American Physiological Society, 2018-07)
      Estrogens and their receptors play key roles in regulating body weight, energy expenditure, and metabolic homeostasis. It is known that lack of estrogens promotes increased food intake and induces the expansion of adipose ...

      Autophagic responses are coupled to the activation of the inhibitor of NF-κB kinase (IKK). Here, we report that the essential autophagy mediator Beclin 1 and TGFβ-activated kinase 1 (TAK1)-binding proteins 2 and 3 (TAB2 ...
    • Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Batista González, Ana; Kretschmar, Catalina; Burgos, Paulina; Lavandero González, Sergio; Morselli, Eugenia; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo (Elsevier, 2020)
      Polycystin-2 (PC2) is a calcium channel that can be found in the endoplasmic reticulum, the plasmatic membrane, and the primary cilium. The structure of PC2 is characterized by a highly ordered C-terminal tail with an ...
