    • Gómez, Francisco; Aguirre, Pabla; González Billault, Christian; Núñez González, Marco (Springer, 2011)
      Studies in post-mortem tissues of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and in mice treated with 6-hydroxydopamine have shown a decrease in the length of axon and dendrites of striatal neurons. However, the etiology of ...

      Cultured neurons obtained from MAP1B-deficient mice have a delay in axon outgrowth and a reduced rate of axonal elongation compared with neurons from wild-type mice. Here we show that MAP1B deficiency results in a ...
    • Benoist, Marion; Palenzuela, Rocío; Rozas, Carlos; Rojas, Patricio; Tortosa, Elena; Morales, Bernardo; González Billault, Christian; Avila, Jesús; Esteban, José A. (2013)
      The microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) plays critical roles in neurite growth and synapse maturation during brain development. This protein is well expressed in the adult brain. However, its function in mature ...
    • Tortosa, Elena; Montenegro Venegas, Carolina; Benoist, Marion; Härtel, Steffen; González Billault, Christian; Esteban, Jose A.; Avila, Jesús (2011)
      Microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) is prominently expressed during early stages of neuronal development, and it has been implicated in axonal growth and guidance. MAP1B expression is also found in the adult brain ...
    • González Billault, Christian; Jiménez Mateos, Eva María; Cáceres, Alfredo; Díaz Nido, Javier; Wandosell, Francisco; Avila, Jesús (Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2004)
      Microtubule-associated protein 1B is the first MAP to be expressed during the development of the nervous system. Several different approaches have revealed that MAP1B function is associated with microtubule and actin ...

    • Uribe Arias, Alejandro; Posada Duque, Rafael Andres; González Billault, Christian; Villegas, Andrés; Lopera, Francisco; Cardona Gómez, Gloria Patricia (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
      Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) plays important roles in synaptic function. Its unregulated over-activation has been, however, associated with neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. Our previous studies revealed that ...
