    • Delgado Arriagada, Ricardo; Muñoz, Yorka; Peña Cortés, Hugo; Giavalisco, Patrick; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (Society for Neuroscience, 2014)
      Drosophila light-dependent channels, TRP and TRPL, reside in the light-sensitive microvilli of the photoreceptor’s rhabdomere. Phospholipase C mediates TRP/TRPL opening, but the gating process remains unknown. Controversial ...
    • Muñoz, Yorka; Fuenzalida, Karen; Bronfman, Miguel; Gatica Rossi, Héctor; Sepúlveda, Marcelo; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan; Roth Metcalfe, Alejandro Darío; Delgado Arriagada, Ricardo (2013)
      Phototransduction, the mechanism underlying the electrical response to light in photoreceptor cells, has been thoroughly investigated in Drosophila melanogaster, an essential model in signal transduction research. These ...
