    • Adaptation of the spiders to the environment: the case of some Chilean species 
      Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; Solís Muñoz, Rigoberto (Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)
      Spiders are small arthropods that have colonized terrestrial environments. These impose three main problems: (i) terrestrial habitats have large fluctuations in temperature and humidity; (ii) the internal concentration of ...
    • Cardiac and pulmonary oxidative stress in rats exposed to realistic emissions of source aerosols 
      Lemos, Miriam; Diaz, Edgar A.; Gupta, Tarun; Kang, Choong Min; Ruiz, Pablo; Coull, Brent A.; Godleski, John J.; Gonzalez-Flecha, Beatriz (2011)
      In vivo chemiluminescence (CL) is a measure of reactive oxygen species in tissues. CL was used to assess pulmonary and cardiac responses to inhaled aerosols derived from aged emissions of three coal-fired power plants in ...
    • Celecoxib/PLGA suppresses angiogenesis and lung metastasis of murine experimental breast cancer Celecoxib/PLGA ... 
      Roa, Ignacio; Cantín, Mario; Muñoz, Mariela; Rosas, Carlos; Lemus, David (Universidad de la Frontera, 2016)
      © 2016, Universidad de la Frontera. All rights reserved.Angiogenesis and metastasis are critical events on the tumor invasion process. Their close association is related as a good target in antitumor therapy. The aimwas ...
    • Changes in (Na + K)-adenosine triphosphatase activity and ultrastructure of lung and kidney associated with ... 
      Rodrigo Salinas, Ramón; Trujillo, Sergio; Bosco Becerra, Cleofina; Orellana, Myriam; Thielemann, Lilian; Araya, Julia (2002)
      Study and objectives: (Na + K)-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity, oxidative stress parameters, and morphologic characteristics of the lung and kidney of rats under acute ethanol intoxication were assessed to ...
    • Departures from the physical optimality in the bronchial tree of rats (Rattus norvegicus) 
      Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Atala, Christian; Olivares, Ricardo; Nova, Francisco F.; Rosenmann, Mario (2002)
      We studied the departure from the physical optimality of the bronchial tree of rats using both i) the minimum volume and power and ii) the minimum surface and drag criteria, considering the bronchial junction as the unit ...
    • Effects of environmental temperature on oxygen diffusion capacity during post-natal development in the ... 
      Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Figueroa, Daniela P.; Miranda, Jessica P.; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo (Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2009)
      In this contribution we studied the developmental phenotypic plasticity of respiratory structures involved in the exchange of gases in an altricial rodent, the leaf-eared mouse (Phyllotis darwini). We studied morphological ...
    • Epstein–Barr virus infection in lung cancer: insights and perspectives 
      Osorio, Julio C.; Blanco Santana, Rancés; Corvalán, Alejandro H.; Muñoz, Juan P.; Calaf, Gloria M.; Aguayo, Francisco (MDPI, 2022)
      Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Tobacco smoke is the most frequent risk factor etiologically associated with LC, although exposures to other environmental factors such as arsenic, radon or ...
    • Lobulación pulmonar de la rata blanca (Rattus norvegicus albinus) 
      Olivares Pérez-Montt, Ricardo; Gil G., Julio (Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía, 2016)
      The laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus albinus) laboratory rat has long been used as a biological model for research. Therefore knowledge of its anatomy, particularly as related to pulmonary lobulation is useful for any ...
    • Merkel cell polyomavirus in non-small cell lung carcinomas from Chile 
      Gheit, Tarik; Muñoz, Juan Pablo; Levican, Jorge; González, Carolina; Ampuero Llanos, Sandra; Parra, Bárbara; Gaggero Brillouet, Aldo; Corvalán, Alejandro H.; Uribe Meneses, Manuel Ángel; Tommasino, Massimo; Aguayo, Francisco (2012)
      Lung cancer is a leading pathology strongly associated with the smoking habit. However, a viral etiology for a subset of patients developing lung cancer has been suggested. Polyomaviruses (PyVs) are small double stranded ...
    • Moderate altitude but not additional endurance training increases markers of oxidative stress in exhaled ... 
      Heinicke, Ilmar; Boehler, Annette; Rechsteiner, Thomas; Bogdanova, Anna; Jelkmann, Wolfgang; Hofer, Markus; Rawlings, Pablo; Araneda, Oscar F.; Behn, Claus; Gassmann, Max; Heinicke, Katja (2009)
      Oxidative stress occurs at altitude, and physical exertion might enhance this stress. In the present study, we investigated the combined effects of exercise and moderate altitude on redox balance in ten endurance exercising ...
    • Muscarinic receptors associated with cancer 
      Calaf, Gloria M.; Crispin, Leodan A.; Muñoz, Juan P.; Aguayo González, Francisco Renán; Bleak, Tammy C. (MDPI, 2022)
      Simple Summary Recently, cancer research has described the presence of the cholinergic machinery, specifically muscarinic receptors, in a wide variety of cancers due to their activation and signaling pathways associated ...
    • Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation: Clinical features, diagnosis and role of surgical management in ... 
      González L., Roberto; Cifuentes V., Claudio; Mordojovich, Gerardo; Prats M., Rafael; Santolaya Cohen, Raimundo; Rodríguez D., Patricio (2011)
      Background: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PA VM) are rare and surgery has a role only in selected cases. Our objectives are to describe clinical features, diagnostic methods and role of surgical treatment in ...
