      Abbate, F.; Madrigrano, M.; Scopitteri, T.; Levanti, M.; Cobo, J. M.; Germana, Antonino; Vega Velásquez, Juan Andrés; Laurà, Rosaria (Elsevier, 2016)
      The neuromasts are the morphofunctional unit of the lateral line system serving as mechanosensors for water flow and movement. The mechanisms underlying the detection of the mechanical stimuli in the vertebrate mechanosensory ...
    • Acid-sensing ion channels and transient-receptor potential ion channels in zebrafish taste buds

      Sensory information from the environment is required for life and survival, and it is detected by specialized cells which togethermakeup the sensory system. The fish sensory system includes specialized organs that are ...
    • Apical contacts stemming from incomplete delamination guide progenitor cell allocation through a dragging mechanism

      The developmental strategies used by progenitor cells to allow a safe journey from their induction place towards the site of terminal differentiation are still poorly understood. Here, we uncovered a mechanism of progenitor ...
    • Cloning of hif-1α and hif-2α and mRNA expression pattern during development in zebrafish 
      Rojas, Diego A.; Pérez Munizaga, Daniela A.; Centanin, Lazaro; Antonelli, Marcelo; Wappner, Pablo; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Reyes, Ariel E. (2007)
      Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) regulate gene expression in response to hypoxia and in vertebrates they are known to participate in several developmental processes, including angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, heart and central ...
    • Combinatorial Fgf and Bmp signalling patterns the gastrula ectoderm into prospective neural and epidermal domains 
      Kudoh, Tetsuhiro; Concha, Miguel L.; Houart, Corinne; Dawid, Igor B.; Wilson, Stephen W. (2004)
      Studies in fish and amphibia have shown that graded Bmp signalling activity regulates dorsal-to-ventral (DV) patterning of the gastrula embryo. In the ectoderm, it is thought that high levels of Bmp activity promote epidermal ...
    • CXCL12a/CXCR4b acts to retain neutrophils in caudal hematopoietic tissue and to antagonize recruitment to ... 
      Paredes Zúñiga, Susana; Morales, Rodrigo A.; Muñoz Sánchez, Salomé; Muñoz Montecinos, Carlos Humberto.; Parada, Margarita; Tapia, Karina; Rubilar, Carlos; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Peña, Oscar A. (Springer Verlag, 2017)
      © 2017, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Neutrophils are a major component of the innate immune response and the most abundant circulating cell type in humans and zebrafish. The CXCL12/CXCR4 ligand receptor pair plays a ...
    • Inhibition of the 3-Hydroxy-3-Methyl-Glutaryl-CoA Reductase Induces Orofacial Defects in Zebrafish 
      Signore Ahumada, Iskra; Jerez, Carolina; Figueroa, Diego; Suazo Sanhueza, José Lorenzo; Marcelain Cubillos, Katherine; Cerda Arancibia, Óscar; Colombo Flores, Alicia (Wiley, 2016)
      Background: Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are common birth defects, which include a range of disorders with a complex etiology affecting formation of craniofacial structures. Some forms of syndromic OFCs are produced by defects ...
    • Live-cell imaging of Salmonella Typhimurium interaction with zebrafish larvae after injection and immersion ... 
      Varas, Macarena; Fariña, Alonso; Díaz Pascual, Francisco; Ortíz-Severín, Javiera; Marcoleta, Andrés E.; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Santiviago, Carlos A.; Chávez, Francisco P. (Elsevier B.V., 2017)
      © 2017The zebrafish model has been used to determine the role of vertebrate innate immunity during bacterial infections. Here, we compare the in vivo immune response induced by GFP-tagged Salmonella Typhimurium inoculated ...
    • Non-canonical Wnt signalling and regulation of gastrulation movements 
      Tada, Masazumi; Concha, Miguel L.; Heisenberg, Carl Philipp (Elsevier Ltd, 2002)
      Members of the Wnt family have been implicated in a variety of developmental processes including axis formation, patterning of the central nervous system and tissue morphogenesis. Recent studies have shown that a Wnt ...
    • Planar cell polarity signalling regulates cell adhesion properties in progenitors of the zebrafish laterality organ 
      Oteiza, Pablo; Köppen, Mathias; Krieg, Michael; Pulgar, Eduardo; Farias, Cecilia; Melo, Cristina; Preibisch, Stephan; Müller, Daniel; Tada, Masazumi; Hartel, Steffen; Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp; Concha, Miguel L. (Company of Biologists Ltd, 2010)
      Organ formation requires the precise assembly of progenitor cells into a functional multicellular structure. Mechanical forces probably participate in this process but how they influence organ morphogenesis is still unclear. ...
