      In the heart, the main pathway for calcium influx is mediated by L-type calcium channels, a multi-subunit complex composed of the pore-forming subunit Ca(V)1.2 and the auxiliary subunits Ca-V alpha(2)delta(1) and Ca-V ...
    • Simon, Felipe; Tapia, Pablo; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Echeverría, César; Gatica, Sebastián; Vallejos, Alejandro; Pacheco Durán, Alejandro; Sanhueza Villanueva, María Eugenia; Alvo Abodovsky, Miriam; Segovia, Erico; Torres, Rubén (Frontiers Media, 2017)
      Chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy is equally efficient as hemodialysis while providing greater patient comfort and mobility. Therefore, PD is the treatment of choice for several types of renal patients. During PD, ...
    • González, Andrea; Valero Breton, Mayalen; Huerta Salgado, Camila Francisca; Achiardi, Oscar; Simon, Felipe; Cabello Verrugio, Claudio Alejandro (Pagepress, 2021)
      Sarcopenia is a highly prevalent complication of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analyses to elucidate the exercise training (ET)'s efficacy on NAFLD adult patients' ...
    • Sarmiento, Daniela; Montorfano, Ignacio; Cerda Arancibia, Óscar; Cáceres, Mónica; Becerra, Álvaro; Cabello Verrugio, Claudio; Elorza, Alvaro A.; Riedel, Claudia; Tapia, Pablo; Velásquez, Luis A.; Varela, Diego; Simon, Felipe (Elsevier, 2015)
      A hallmark of severe inflammation is reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction induced by increased inflammatory mediators secretion. During systemic inflammation, inflammation mediators circulating in the bloodstream ...
    • Simon, Felipe; Varela Lekanda, Diego; Cabello Verrugio, Claudio (Elsevier, 2013)
      The transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) protein family is an extensive group of ion channels expressed in several types of mammalian cells. Many studies have shown that these channels are crucial for performing ...
    • Varela Lekanda, Diego; Penna, Antonello; Simon, Felipe; Eguiguren Ossa, Ana; Leiva Salcedo, Elías; Cerda, Oscar; Sala, Francisco; Stutzin Schottlander, Andrés (2010-03-05)
      Volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying (VSOR) Cl channels are critical for the regulatory volume decrease (RVD) response triggered upon cell swelling. Recent evidence indicates that H2O2 plays an essential role in the ...
    • Sagredo, Alfredo I.; Sagredo, Eduardo A.; Pola, Victor; Echeverría, César; Andaur, Rodrigo; Michea Acevedo, Luis; Stutzin Schottlander, Andrés; Simon, Felipe; Marcelain Cubillos, Katherine; Armisén, Ricardo (Wiley, 2019)
      Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a Ca2+‐activated and voltage‐ dependent monovalent cation channel, which depolarizes the plasma cell membrane, thereby modulating Ca2+ influx across Ca2+‐permeable ...
    • Cáceres Lluch, Mónica; Ortiz, Liliana; Recabarren, Tatiana; Romero, Aníbal; Colombo Flores, Alicia; Leiva Salcedo, Elías; Varela Lekanda, Diego; Rivas, José; Silva, Ian; Morales, Diego; Campusano, Camilo; Almarza, Óscar; Simon, Felipe; Toledo Araya, Héctor; Park, Kang-Sik; Trimmer, James S.; Cerda, Óscar (Public Library Science, 2015)
      Cellular migration and contractility are fundamental processes that are regulated by a variety of concerted mechanisms such as cytoskeleton rearrangements, focal adhesion turnover, and Ca2+ oscillations. TRPM4 is a ...
    • Sagredo, A.; Sagredo, Eduardo A.; Cappelli, Claudio; Baez, Pablo; Andaur, Rodrigo E.; Blanco, Constanza; Tapia, Julio C.; Echeverría, César; Cerda, Oscar; Stutzin Schottlander, Andrés; Simon, Felipe; Marcelain Cubillos, Katherine; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo (John Wiley, 2018)
      Increased expression of the TRPM4 channel has been reported to be associated with the progression of prostate cancer. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its effect remains unknown. This work found that decreasing ...
