J.; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Elsevier, 2016)
      In neurological disorders, both acute and chronic neural stress can disrupt cellular proteostasis, resulting in the generation of pathological protein. However in most cases, neurons adapt to these proteostatic perturbations ...

      Soluble amyloid beta-peptide oligomers (A beta Os), increasingly recognized as causative agents of Alzheimer's disease (AD), disrupt neuronal Ca(2+) homeostasis and synaptic function. Here, we report that A beta Os at ...
    • Matus, Soledad; Bosco, Daryl A.; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Elsevier, 2014)
      Mutations in fused in sarcoma and/or translocated in liposarcoma (FUS, TLS or FUS) are linked to familial cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mutant FUS selectively accumulates into discrete cytosolic structures ...
    • Barrientos, Sebastián A.; Martínez, Nicolas W.; Yoo, Soonmoon; Jara, Juan S.; Zamorano, Sebastián; Hetz Flores, Claudio; Twiss, Jeffery L.; Alvarez, Jaime; Court, Felipe A. (SOC NEUROSCIENCE, 2011-01-19)
      Axonal degeneration is an active process that has been associated with neurodegenerative conditions triggered by mechanical, metabolic, infectious, toxic, hereditary and inflammatory stimuli. This degenerative process can ...

      tBax Inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is an evolutionarily conserved six-transmembrane domain endoplasmic reticulum(ER)-localized protein that protects against ER stress-induced apoptotic cell death. This function is closelyconnected ...
    • Pihan, Philippe; Carreras Sureda, Amado; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
      In the last decade, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has emerged as a central organelle regulating the core mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. At the ER membrane, a variety of stress signals are integrated toward determining ...
