      Chronic Chagas’ disease affects 10–30 % of patients infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, and it mainly manifests as cardiomyopathy. Important pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the cardiac lesions include activation of ...
    • Hidalgo, Christian; García, María Pía; Stoore, Caroll; Ramírez, Juan Pablo; Monteiro, Karina; Hellman, Ulf; Zaha, Arnaldo; Ferreira, Henrique; Galanti Garrone, Norbel; Landerer, Eduardo; Paredes, Rodolfo (Elsevier, 2016)
      Echinococcus granulosus protoscolex proteins were separated using two-dimensional electrophoresis and then identified using mass spectrometry; we identified 61 proteins, 28 which are newly described of which 4 could be ...
    • Rojas, M.Verónica; Galanti Garrone, Norbel (1991)
      5-Azacytidine treatment of T. cruzi epimastigotes in culture induces active cell proliferation. This effect was detected as an increase in the cell number and [3H-methyl]thymidine incorporation into DNA. 5-Azacytidine does ...
    • Castillo, C.; López-Muñoz, R.; Duaso, J.; Galanti Garrone, Norbel; Jaña, F.; Ferreira, J.; Cabrera, G.; Maya Arango, Juan; Kemmerling Weis, Ulrike (2012)
      Background: Chagas' disease is caused by the haemophlagelated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi). During congenital transmission the parasite breaks down the placental barrier. In the present study we analyzed the ...

      In Latin America, there are about 10-12 million people infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas' disease, one of the most important neglected tropical parasitism. Identification of molecular targets, specific ...
    • Camicia, Federico; Paredes, Rodolfo; Chalar, Cora; Galanti Garrone, Norbel; Kamenetzky, Laura; Gutiérrez, Ariana; Rosenzvit, Mara (ELSEVIER, 2008-03-31)
      We have sequenced and partially characterized an Echinococcus granulosus cDNA, termed egat1, from a protoscolex signal sequence trap (SST) cDNA library. The isolated 1627 bp long cDNA contains an ORF of 489 amino acids and ...
    • Benítez, Diego; Pezaroglo, Horacio; Martínez, Verónica; Casanova, Gabriela; Cabrera Vallejos, Gonzalo; Galanti Garrone, Norbel; González, Mercedes; Cerecetto, Hugo (CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2012-04)
      Cell death mechanisms in Trypanosoma cruzi have not been disclosed in detail though different conventional techniques have been used in the classification of parasite-cell death type. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has ...
    • Muñoz, Lorena; Castillo, Christian; Carrillo, Ileana; Salinas, Andrea; Liempi, Ana; Droguett, Daniel; Maya Arango, Juan; Galanti Garrone, Norbel; Kemmerling Weis, Ulrike (2016)
      Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), the causative agent of Chagas disease, and Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), responsible for Toxoplasmosis are two parasites that can cross the placental barrier. T. cruzi and T. gondii present ...
    • Durham, John P.; Galanti Garrone, Norbel; Revis, Nathaniel W. (1975)
      1. 1. Plasma membranes have been purified 17-fold from mouse parotid gland homogenates prepared in hypertonic sucrose media using differential centrifugation. The method is fast and simple. The membranes were characterised ...
    • Toso M., Alberto; Vial U., Felipe; Galanti Garrone, Norbel (2011)
      The traditional transmission pathways of Chagas' disease are vectorial, transfusional, transplacental and organ transplantation. However, oral transmission is gaining importance. The fi rst evidence of oral transmission ...
