    • Matus, Soledad; Valenzuela, Vicente; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2014)
      A current need in the neuroscience field is a simple method to monitor autophagic activity in vivo in neurons. Until very recently, most reports have been based on correlative and static determinations of the expression ...
    • 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 ...
    • Matus Sepúlveda, Teresa; Almeida, Adriana Kaulino de; Muñoz Arce, Gianinna; Pollak, Tal Reininger (Taylor & Francis, 2020)
      Chilean Social Work has its origins and has developed facing crises. The first chool founded in 1925-worked directly with infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and syphilis, exposing their causes: overcrowding, poor ...
    • Bargsted, Leslie; Medinas Bilches, Danilo; Martínez Traub, Francisca; Rozas, Pablo; Muñoz, Natalia; Nassif, Melissa; Jerez, Carolina; Catenaccio, Alejandra; Court, Felipe A.; Hetz Flores, Claudio; Matus, Soledad (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
      Tar DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is the principal component of ubiquitinated protein inclusions present in nervous tissue of most cases of both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). ...
    • García Huerta, Paula; Bargsted, Leslie; Rivas, Alexis; Matus, Soledad; Vidal, René L. (Elsevier, 2016)
      Proteins along the secretory pathway are co-translationally translocated into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as unfolded polypeptide chains. Afterwards, they are usually modified with N-linked glycans, correctly ...
    • Matamala, José Manuel; Arias Carrasco, Raul; Sánchez, Carolina; Uhrig, Markus; Bargsted, Leslie; Matus, Soledad; Maracaja Coutinho, Vinicius; Abarzua, Sebastián; Van Zundert, Brigitte; Verdugo Latorre, Renato; Manque, Patricio; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Elsevier, 2018)
      The occurrence of mutations of TDP-43, FUS, and C9ORF72 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) suggests pathogenic alterations to RNA metabolism and specifically to microRNA (miRNA) biology. Moreover, several ALS-related ...
    • Klionsky, Daniel J.; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Chiong Lay, Mario; Díaz Araya, Guillermo; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro; Corbalán, Ramón; Matus, Soledad; Segura Aguilar, Juan; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Taylor & Francis inc., 2016)
    • 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 ...
    • Danilla, Stefan V.; Jara, Rocío P.; Miranda, Felipe; Bencina, Francisco; Aguirre, Marcela; Troncoso, Ekaterina; Erazo, Cristian A.; Andrades, Patricio R.; Sepúlveda, Sergio L.; Albornoz, Claudia R. (Oxford University Press, 2020)
      Background: Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is an emergent disease that threatens patients with texturized breast implants. Major concerns about the safety of these implants are leading ...
    • 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 ...
    • Vidal, René L.; Matus, Soledad; Bargsted, Leslie; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Elsevier Ltd, 2014)
      © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. The most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders involve protein misfolding and the aggregation of specific proteins. Autophagy is becoming an attractive target to treat neurodegenerative ...
    • Hetz Flores, Claudio; Thielen, Peter; Matus, Soledad; Nassif, Melissa; Court, Felipe; Kiffin, Roberta; Martinez, Gabriela; Cuervo, Ana María; Brown, Robert H.; Glimcher, Laurie H. (2009)
      Mutations in superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) cause familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS). Recent evidence implicates adaptive responses to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the disease process via a pathway known ...
    • Matus, Soledad; Nassif, Melissa; Glimcher, Laurie H.; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2009)
      Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been extensively described in many protein misfolding disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Adaptation to ER stress is mediated by the activation of an integrated ...
