      © Jorge Díaz, Pablo endoza, Patricio Silva, Andrew FG Quest, and Vicente A Torres. The small GTPase Rab5 has been frequently studied in the context of intracellular trafficking, but evidence obtained more recently has ...
    • 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 ...
    • Hernández Cáceres, María Paz; Cereceda, Karina; Hernández, Sergio; Li, Ying; Narro, Carla; Rivera, Patricia; Silva, Patricio; Ávalos, Yenniffer; Jara, Claudia; Burgos, Paulina; Toledo Valenzuela, Lilian; Lagos, Pablo; Cifuentes Araneda, Flavia; Pérez Leighton, Claudio; Bertocchi, Cristina; Clegg, Deborah J.; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo; Tapia Rojas, Cheril; Burgos, Patricia V.; Morselli, Eugenia (Taylor & Francis, 2020)
      High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity is associated with increased cancer risk. Long-term feeding with HFD increases the concentration of the saturated fatty acid palmitic acid (PA) in the hypothalamus. We previously showed ...
    • Fuentes, Irma; Silva, Patricio; Martínez Concha, Francisco; Olea, Andrés F. (Hindawi, 2017)
      The aggregation of cationic block copolymers formed by polystyrene (PS) and poly(ethyl-4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-PE4VP) was studied in aqueous solution. Diblock copolymers of PS and poly(4-vinylpyridine) were synthesized by ...
    • 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 ...
    • Torres, Pedro; Díaz Jara, Jorge; Arce, Maximiliano; Silva, Patricio; Mendoza, Pablo; Lois, Pablo; Molina Berríos, Alfredo Enrique; Owen, Gareth I.; Palma Alvarado, Verónica; Torres Gómez, Vicente (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2017)
      Saliva is a key factor that contributes to the high efficiency of wound healing in the oral mucosa. This is not only attributed to physical cues but also to the presence of specific peptides in the saliva, such as histatins. ...
