      CIC-4 and CIC-5 are mammalian CIC isoforms with unique ion conduction and gating properties. Macroscopic current recordings in heterologous expression systems revealed very small currents at negative potentials, whereas a ...
    • González, Carlos; Cepeda, Raquel; Flores Pavez, Estefanía; Cattaneo Univaso, Gino; Reyes, Susana (Universidad de Chile, 2003)
      Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a mechanism of cell elimination when they are unnecessary or genetically damaged. It is controlled by a variety of genes, many of which present mutation or dysfunstion associated to ...
    • Soto, Marco A.; González, Carlos; Lissi Gervaso, Eduardo A.; Vergara Montecinos, Cecilia; Latorre, Ramón (AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2002-03)
      We studied the effect of H2O2 on the gating behavior of large-conductance Ca2+-sensitive voltage-dependent K+ (K-V,K-Ca) channels. We recorded potassium currents from single skeletal muscle channels incorporated into ...
    • Álvarez Araya, Osvaldo; González, Carlos; Latorre, Ramón (American Physiological Society, 2002)
      Ion channels open and close in a stochastic fashion, following the laws of probability. However, distinct from tossing a coin or a die, the probability of finding the channel closed or open is not a fixed number but can ...
    • Labra Farías, Mariel (Universidad de Chile, 2023)
      La esquizofrenia es una enfermedad neuropsiquiátrica severa que afecta al 0.7% de la población mundial. Sin embargo, la gravedad y cronicidad de esta enfermedad hacen que la prevención y la detección temprana sean un ...
    • Muñoz Quezada, María Teresa; Lucero, Boris; González, Carlos (2010)
      The paper reviews how gestures influence the working memory of students with mild intellectual disability. Our general hypothesis is that retention of verbal information in working memory will vary as a function of the use ...
    • Candia, Enzo; Díaz Jiménez, David; Langjahr, Patricia; Núñez, Lucía E.; Fuente, Marjorie de la; Farfán, Nancy; López Kostner, Francisco; Abedrapo Moreira, Mario Antonio; Alvarez Lobos, Manuel; Pinedo, George; Beltrán, Caroll J.; González, Carlos; González Burgos, María Julieta; Quera Pino, Rodrigo (2012)
      Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is a type I pattern recognition receptor that has been shown to participate in intestinal homeostasis. Its increased expression in the lamina propria has been associated with the pathogenesis ...
    • González, Carlos; Abello, Paula; Cepeda, Raquel; Salazar, Lorena; Aravena, Octavio; Pesce Reyes, Bárbara; Catalán Martina, Diego; Aguillón Gutiérrez, Juan Carlos (2007)
      Using the murine model of type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), we studied its evolution over time by histopathological, immunohistochemical and clinical evaluations. The first clinical symptoms appeared 28 days ...
    • González, Carlos; Borzone, Mauro (Universidad de Chile, 2021-06)
      En la actualidad al momento de la compra, uno de los mayores problemas que presentan los chilenos de cualquier segmento, está dado por el sentimiento de abuso y desconfianza de las grandes empresas, ante el precio de ...
    • González, Carlos; Rosenman, Eduardo; Bezanilla, Francisco; Álvarez Araya, Osvaldo; Latorre, Ramón (ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2000-02)
      In Shaker K+ channels depolarization displaces outwardly the positively charged residues of the S4 segment. The amount of this displacement is unknown, but large movements of the S4 segment should be con strained by the ...
    • Latorre, Ramón; Olcese, Riccardo; Basso, Claudia; González, Carlos; Muñoz, Fabián; Cosmelli, Diego; Álvarez Araya, Osvaldo (ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2003-10)
      Animal and plant voltage-gated ion channels share a common architecture. They are made up of four subunits and the positive charges on helical S4 segments of the protein in animal K+ channels are the main voltage-sensing ...
    • Parraguez Gamboa, Víctor; Atlagich, Miljenko; Díaz, Rodrigo; Cepeda, Raquel; González, Carlos; Reyes Solovera, Mónica de los; Bruzzone Valdés, María Eugenia; Behn Thiele, Claus; Raggi Saini, Luis (ELSEVIER, 2006-09)
      Fetal growth and newborn weight from ovine gestations at high altitudes (HA) are greater in ewes that live at HA for several generations than in those native to low altitudes (LA) exposed to HA only during pregnancy. Because ...
    • González, Carlos; Rosenman, Eduardo; Bezanilla, Francisco; Álvarez Araya, Osvaldo; Latorre, Ramón (NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2001-08-14)
      Upon depolarization positive charges contained in the transmembrane segment S4 of voltage-dependent channels are displaced from the cytoplasmic to the external milieu, This charge movement leads to channel opening. In ...
    • Castillo, Juan; González, Carlos; Álvarez Araya, Osvaldo; Latorre, Ramón (Cell Press, 2015)
    • Cavieres, Viviana A.; González, Alexis; Muñoz, Vanessa C.; Yefi, Claudia P.; Bustamante, Hianara A.; Barraza, Rafael R.; Tapia Rojas, Cheril; Otth, Carola; Barrera, María José; González, Carlos; Mardones, Gonzalo A.; Inestrosa, Nibaldo C.; Burgos, Patricia V. (Public Library Science, 2015)
      Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (A beta) peptide. We have previously shown that the compound tetrahydrohyperforin (IDN5706) prevents accumulation ...

      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, ...
