    • A BK (Slo1) channel journey from molecule to physiology 
      Contreras, Gustavo F.; Castillo, Karen; Enrique, Nicolás; Carrasquel Ursulaez, Willy; Castillo, Juan Pablo; Milesi, Verónica; Neely, Alan; Alvarez, Osvaldo; Ferreira, Gonzalo; Gonzalez, Carlos; Latorre, Ramón (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2013)
      Calcium and voltage-activated potassium (BK) channels are key actors in cell physiology, both in neuronal and non-neuronal cells and tissues. Through negative feedback between intracellular Ca2+ and membrane voltage, BK ...
    • The syndromic deafness mutation G12R impairs fast and slow gating in Cx26 hemichannels 
      García, Isaac E.; Villanelo, Felipe; Contreras, Gustavo F.; Pupo, Amaury; Pinto, Bernardo I.; Contreras, Jorge E.; Pérez Acle, Tomás; Alvarez, Osvaldo; Latorre, Ramón; Martínez, Agustín D.; González, Carlos (Rockefeller University Press, 2018)
      Mutations in connexin 26 (Cx26) hemichannels can lead to syndromic deafness that affects the cochlea and skin. These mutations lead to gain-of-function hemichannel phenotypes by unknown molecular mechanisms. In this study, ...
