Pacheco Jenkins, Claudia Alejandra (Universidad de Chile, 2009)Las enfermedades causadas por los péptidos amiloides son numerosas y heterogéneas, afectan a una gran cantidad de órganos y son de importancia tanto para el hombre como los animales. A pesar de que una característica común ...

Barrera Arriagada, Christian Felipe; Astorga, César; Atwater, Illani; Rojas, Eduardo; Mears, David; Caviedes, Raúl; Caviedes, Pablo (2007)The CNh and CTb cell lines are derived from the cerebral cortex of normal and trisomy 16 mice, an animal model of human trisomy 21, Down syndrome (DS), and represent in vitro models to study cellular events associated with ...

Llanos Vidal, Paola; Contreras Ferrat, Ariel Eduardo; Barrientos Briones, Genaro; Valencia, Marco; Mears, David; Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia (Public Library Science, 2015)Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from pancreatic beta-cells requires an increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]). Glucose uptake into beta-cells promotes Ca2+ influx and reactive oxygen species ...

Contreras Ferrat, Ariel Eduardo; Toro, Barbra; Bravo, R.; Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Vásquez, C.; Ibarra, Cristián; Mears, David; Chiong Lay, Mario; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique; Klip, Amira; Lavandero González, Sergio (ENDOCRINE SOC, 2010-10)Intracellular calcium levels ([Ca2+](i)) and glucose uptake are central to cardiomyocyte physiology, yet connections between them have not been studied. We investigated whether insulin regulates [Ca2+](i) in cultured ...

Alarcón, Juan Marcos; Brito Jara, Julio; Hermosilla, Tamara; Atwater Ransom, Illani; Mears, David; Rojas, Eduardo (ELSEVIER, 2006-01)Incorporation of Alzheimer's disease amyloid beta-proteins (A beta Ps) across natural and artificial bilayer membranes leads to the formation of cation-selective channels. To study the peptide-membrane interactions involved ...

Atwater Ransom, Illani; Guajardo, M.; Caviedes Fernández, Pablo; Jeffs, S.; Parrau, D.; Valencia, M.; Romero, C.; Arriagada Abarzúa, Christian; Caamaño, Edgardo; Salas, A.; Olguín, F.; Atlagich, Miljenko; Maas, R.; Mears, David; Rojas, Eduardo (ELSEVIER, 2010)Islet transplantation is a potential cure for type 1 diabetes, but clinical results have been disappointing. Currently, islet isolation is by enzymatic digestion of the pancreas which has significant pitfalls: warm ...

He, Li Ping; Mears, David; Atwater, Illani; Rojas, Eduardo; Cleemann, Lars (2003)1 We have investigated the effects of loperamide on intracellular Ca2+ stores and membrane K+ channels in insulin-secreting hamster insulinoma (HIT-T15) cells. 2 In cell-attached patch-clamp mode, loperamide (3 – 250 mM) ...
-
Mears, David; Rojas, Eduardo (SOCIEDAD BIOLGIA CHILE, 2006)We used the single-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique to record ionic currents from pancreatic beta-cells within intact mouse islets of Langerhans at 37 degrees C, the typical preparation for studies of glucose-induced ...

Mears, David; Rojas, Eduardo (Society of Biology of Chile, 2006)We used the single-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique to record ionic currents from pancreatic β-cells within intact mouse islets of Langerhans at 37C, the typical preparation for studies of glucose-induced "bursting" ...

Mears, David; Zimliki, Charles L.; Atwater, Illani; Rojas, Eduardo; Glassman, Mirta; Leighton, Ximena; Pollard, Harvey B.; Srivastava, Meera (2012)Insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cell is controlled by changes in membrane potential and intracellular Ca2+. The contribution of intracellular Ca2+ stores to this process is poorly understood. We have previously ...
