    • A role for Lin-28 in growth and metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster 
      González-Itier, Sergio; Contreras, Esteban G.; Larraín, Juan; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro; Faunes, Fernando (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2018)
      © 2018 Elsevier B.V.Insect metamorphosis has been a classic model to understand the role of hormones in growth and timing of developmental transitions. In addition to hormones, transitions in some species are regulated by ...
    • Balance Between Tooth Size and Tooth Number Is Controlled by Hyaluronan 
      Sánchez, Natalia; González Ramírez, María Constanza; Contreras, Esteban G.; Ubilla, Angélica; Li, Jingjing; Valencia, Anyeli; Wilson, Andrés; Green, Jeremy B. A.; Tucker, Abigail S.; Gaete, Marcia (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      While the function of proteins and genes has been widely studied during vertebrate development, relatively little work has addressed the role of carbohydrates. Hyaluronan (HA), also known as hyaluronic acid, is an abundant ...
    • p53 is required for brain growth but is dispensable for resistance to nutrient restriction during Drosophila ... 
      Contreras, Esteban G.; Sierralta, Jimena; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro (Public Library Science, 2018)
      Background Animal growth is influenced by the genetic background and the environmental circumstances. How genes promote growth and coordinate adaptation to nutrient availability is still an open question. p53 is a ...
    • Slit neuronal secretion coordinates optic lobe morphogenesis in Drosophila 
      Caipo Coral, Lorena; González Ramírez, M. Constanza; Guzmán Palma, Pablo; Contreras, Esteban; Palominos, Tomás; Fuenzalida Uribe, Nicolás; Hassan, Bassem A.; Campusano, Jorge M.; Sierralta, Jimena; Oliva, Carlos (Elsevier, 2020)
      The complexity of the nervous system requires the coordination of multiple cellular processes during development. Among them, we find boundary formation, axon guidance, cell migration and cell segregation. Understanding ...
    • The transcription factor SoxD controls neuronal guidance in the Drosophila visual system 
      Contreras, Esteban G.; Palominos, Tomás; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro; Brand, Andrea H.; Sierralta, Jimena; Oliva, Carlos (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
      © 2018, The Author(s). Precise control of neurite guidance during development is essential to ensure proper formation of neuronal networks and correct function of the central nervous system (CNS). How neuronal projections ...
