    • Urriola-Muñoz, Paulina; Lagos Cabré, Raúl; Moreno, Ricardo D. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      © 2014 Urriola-Muñoz et al.Germ cell apoptosis regulation is pivotal in order to maintain proper daily sperm production. Several reports have shown that endocrine disruptors such as Bisphenol-A (BPA) and Nonylphenol (NP) ...
    • Bustamante Marín, Ximena; Quiroga, Clara; Lavandero González, Sergio; Reyes, Juan G.; Moreno, Ricardo D. (2012)
      Apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy are mechanistically related processes that control tissue homeostasis and cell survival. In the testis, germ cell death is important for controlling sperm output, but it is unknown whether ...
    • Alvarado-Díaz, Carlos P.; Tapia, Julio; Antonelli, Marcelo; Moreno, Ricardo D. (2009)
      Protein kinase CK2 is a serine/threonine kinase expressed in organisms from yeast to human and is composed of a catalytic subunit (α or α') and a regulatory subunit (β) forming a holoenzyme with the possible subunit ...
    • Araya López, Héctor; Sepulveda, Hugo; Lizama, Carlos O.; Vega Villa, Oscar; Jerez, Sofia; Briceño, Pedro F.; Thaler, Roman; Riester, Scott M.; Antonelli Anativia, Marcelo; Salazar Onfray, Flavio; Rodríguez Vives, Juan Pablo; Moreno, Ricardo D.; Montecino, Martín; Charbonneau, Martine; Dubois, Claire; Galindo Díaz, Mario; Stein, Gary; van Wijnen, Andre (Wiley-Liss Inc., 2018)
      Osteoblast differentiation is controlled by transcription factor RUNX2 which temporally activates or represses several bone-related genes, including those encoding extracellular matrix proteins or factors that control ...
    • Moreno, Ricardo D.; Brouwer-Visser, Jurriaan; Alvarado, Carlos P.; Lagos-Cabré, Raúl; Antonelli, Marcelo (2008)
      The acrosome is a secretory vesicle located in the mammalian sperm head. Its main function is to transport hydrolytic enzymes. These enzymes will dissolve the zona pellucid, assisting the sperm in fertilizing the egg. The ...
    • Lizama, Carlos; Rojas-Benítez, Diego; Antonelli, Marcelo; Ludwig, Andreas; Bustamante-Marín, Ximena; Brouwer-Visser, Jurriaan; Moreno, Ricardo D. (2010)
      The pathways leading to male germ cell apoptosis in vivo are poorly understood, but are highly relevant for the comprehension of sperm production regulation by the testis. In this work, we show the evidence of a mechanism ...
