    • Dhaunchak, Ajit S.; Huang, Jeffrey K.; De Faria Junior, Omar; Roth Metcalfe, Alejandro Darío; Pedraza, Liliana; Antel, Jack P.; Bar-Or, Amit; Colman, David R. (WILEY-LISS, DIV JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2010-09-09)
      Compact myelin, the paranode, and the juxtaparanode are discrete domains that are formed on myelinated axons. In humans, neurological disorders associated with loss of myelin, including Multiple Sclerosis, often also ...
    • Bodaleo Torres, Felipe Jose (Universisdad de Chile, 2015)
      Las Septinas son una familia de proteínas GTPasas citoplasmaticas ampliamente distribuidas entre eucariontes y que presentan un alto porcentaje de identidad entre ellas. La presencia de Septina 8 (SEPT8) en proteoma de ...
    • 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 ...
    • Vincent, Thierry; Saikali, Philippe; Cayrol, Romain; Roth Metcalfe, Alejandro Darío; Bar-Or, Amit; Prat, Alexandre; Antel, Jack P. (The American Association of Immunologists, 2008)
      Autoantibody neuromyelitis optica-IgG (NMO-IgG) recognizing aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is implicated as playing a central role in the physiopathology of NMO. The aim of this in vitro-based study was to characterize functional ...
    • Golan, Neev; Adamsky, Konstantin; Kartvelishvily, Elena; Brockschnieder, Damian; Möbius, Wiebke; Spiegel, Ivo; Roth Metcalfe, Alejandro Darío; Thomson, Christine; Rechavi, Gideon; Peles, Elior (WILEY-LISS, 2008-06-20)
      Oligodendrocytes form an insulating multilamellar structure of compact myelin around axons, which allows efficient and rapid propagation of action potentials. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms ...
    • González Cabrera, Cristian; Garrido Charad, Florencia; Roth Metcalfe, Alejandro Darío; Marín, Gonzalo (Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)
      Retinal inputs to the optic tectum (TeO) triggered by moving stimuli elicit synchronized feedback signals from two isthmic nuclei: the isthmi parvocelullaris (Ipc) and isthmi semilunaris (SLu). Both of these nuclei send ...
    • Roth Metcalfe, Alejandro Darío; Liazoghli, Dalinda; Pérez de Arce, Felipe; Colman, David R. (2013)
      Myelin sheaths present two distinct domains: compacted myelin spirals and fl anking non-compacted cytoplasmic channels, where lipid and protein segregation is established by unknown mechanisms. Septins, a conserved family ...
    • Falcón Urrutia, Paulina; Carrasco, Carlos M.; Lois, Pablo; Palma, Verónica; Roth Metcalfe, Alejandro Darío (Public Library Science, 2015)
      Primary Cilia (PC) are a very likely place for signal integration where multiple signaling pathways converge. Two major signaling pathways clearly shown to signal through the PC, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) and PDGF-Ra, are ...
    • Liazoghli, Dalinda; Roth Metcalfe, Alejandro Darío; Thostrup, Peter; Colman, David R. (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2012-02)
      Myelination is a highly regulated developmental process whereby oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system ensheathe axons with a multilayered concentric membrane. ...
    • de Faria, Omar; Dhaunchak, Ajit S.; Kamen, Yasmine; Roth Metcalfe, Alejandro Darío; Kuhlmann, Tanja; Colman, David R.; Kennedy, Timothy E. (Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
      Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) differentiate during postnatal development into myelin-forming oligodendrocytes, in a process distinguished by substantial changes in morphology and the onset of myelin gene expression. ...
