    • Contreras, Gustavo F.; Castillo, Karen; Enrique, Nicolás; Carrasquel Ursulaez, Willy; Castillo, Juan Pablo; Milesi, Verónica; Neely, Alan; Alvarez, Osvaldo; Ferreira, Gonzalo; Gonzalez, Carlos; Latorre, Ramón (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2013)
      Calcium and voltage-activated potassium (BK) channels are key actors in cell physiology, both in neuronal and non-neuronal cells and tissues. Through negative feedback between intracellular Ca2+ and membrane voltage, BK ...
    • Nassif, Melissa; Matus, Soledad; Castillo, Karen; Hetz Flores, Claudio (2010)
      Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common adult-onset motoneuron degenerative disease characterized by the selective loss of motoneurons in the spinal ventral horn, most brainstem nuclei, and the cerebral ...
    • Castillo, Karen; Rojas Rivera, Diego; Lisbona, Fernanda; Caballero, Benjamín; Nassif, Melissa; Court, Felipe A.; Schuck, Sebastian; Ibar, Consuelo; Walter, Peter; Sierralta, Jimena; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro; Hetz Flores, Claudio (2011)
      Both autophagy and apoptosis are tightly regulated processes playing a central role in tissue homeostasis. Bax inhibitor 1 (BI-1) is a highly conserved protein with a dual role in apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ...
    • Matus, Soledad; Castillo, Karen; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2012)
      Protein folding stress is a salient feature of the most frequent neurodegenerative diseases. Although the accumulation of abnormally folded proteins is a well-characterized event underlying the pathology, the way cells ...
    • Nassif, Melissa; Valenzuela, Vicente; Rojas Rivera, Diego; Vidal, René; Matus, Soledad; Castillo, Karen; Fuentealba, Yerko; Kroemer, Guido; Levine, Beth; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2014)
      Pharmacological activation of autophagy is becoming an attractive strategy to induce the selective degradation of aggregate-prone proteins. Recent evidence also suggests that autophagy impairment may underlie the pathogenesis ...
    • Torres, Mauricio; Castillo, Karen; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Stutzin Schottlander, Andrés; Soto, Claudio; Hetz Flores, Claudio (2010)
      Prion-related disorders (PrDs) are fatal neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive neuronal impairment as well as the accumulation of an abnormally folded and protease resistant form of the cellular prion ...
    • Carmona, Emerson M.; Baez Nieto, David; Pupo, Amaury; Castillo, Karen; Álvarez Araya, Osvaldo; Neely, Alan; Latorre, Ramón; González, Carlos (Cell Press, 2018)

      Odour-mediated signal transduction is a complex process that occurs in the cilia of olfactory sensory neurons. To gain insight in to the molecular organization of the odour transduction machinery, we developed a procedure ...
    • Ramírez Barrantes, Ricardo; Carvajal Zamorano, Karina; Rodríguez, Belén; Córdova, Claudio; Lozano, Carlo; Simón, Felipe; Díaz, Paula; Muñoz, Pablo; Marchant, Ivanny; Latorre, Ramón; Castillo, Karen; Olivero, Pablo (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      17 beta-estradiol is a neuronal survival factor against oxidative stress that triggers its protective effect even in the absence of classical estrogen receptors. The polymodal transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype ...
