    • Connexins in Astrocyte Migration 
      Lagos Cabré, Raúl; Burgos Bravo, Francesca; Ávalos, Ana María; Leyton, Lisette (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      Astrocytes have long been considered the supportive cells of the central nervous system, but during the last decades, they have gained much more attention because of their active participation in the modulation of neuronal ...
    • Engram formation in psychiatric disorders 
      Gebicke-Haerter, Peter J. (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014)
      Environmental factors substantially influence beginning and progression of mental illness, reinforcing or reducing the consequences of genetic vulnerability. Often initiated by early traumatic events, "engrams" or memories ...
    • Hypoxic Melanoma Cells Deliver microRNAs to Dendritic Cells and Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes through Connexin-43 ... 
      Tittarelli, Andrés; Navarrete, Mariela; Lizana, Marcelo; Hofmann Vega, Francisca; Salazar Onfray, Flavio (MDPI, 2020)
      Alterations in microRNA (miRNA) profiles, induced by tumor microenvironment stressors, like hypoxia, allow cancer cells to acquire immune-resistance phenotypes. Indeed, hypoxia-induced miRNAs have been implicated in cancer ...
    • Intracellular ca2+ increases and connexin 43 hemichannel opening are necessary but not sufficient for ... 
      Lagos Cabré, Raúl; Brenet, Marianne; Díaz, Jorge; Pérez, Ramón D.; Pérez, Leonardo A.; Herrera Molina, Rodrigo; Quest, Andrew F. G.; Leyton Campos, Lisette (MDPI AG, 2018)
      © 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Under pro-inflammatory conditions, astrocytes become reactive and acquire a migratory phenotype. Our results show that hemichannels formed by connexin 43 (Cx43) ...
