    • A high-throughput chemically induced inflammation assay in zebrafish 
      d’Alencon, Claudia; Peña, Oscar A.; Wittmann, Christine; Gallardo, Viviana E.; Jones, Rebecca A.; Loosli, Felix; Liebel, Urban; Grabher, Clemens; Allende Connelly, Miguel (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2010-12-22)
      Background: Studies on innate immunity have benefited from the introduction of zebrafish as a model system. Transgenic fish expressing fluorescent proteins in leukocyte populations allow direct, quantitative visualization ...
    • Molecular dissection of the migrating posterior lateral line primordium during early development in zebrafish 
      Gallardo, Viviana E.; Liang, Jin; Behra, Martine; Elkahloun, Abdel; Villablanca, Eduardo J.; Russo, Vincenzo; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Burgess, Shawn M. (BIOMED CENTRAL, 2010-12-13)
      Background: Development of the posterior lateral line (PLL) system in zebrafish involves cell migration, proliferation and differentiation of mechanosensory cells. The PLL forms when cranial placodal cells delaminate ...
    • Phoenix Is Required for Mechanosensory Hair Cell Regeneration in the Zebrafish Lateral Line 
      Behra, Martine; Bradsher, John; Sougrat, Rachid; Gallardo, Viviana E.; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Burgess, Shawn M. (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2009-04-17)
      In humans, the absence or irreversible loss of hair cells, the sensory mechanoreceptors in the cochlea, accounts for a large majority of acquired and congenital hearing disorders. In the auditory and vestibular neuroepithelia ...
    • Sublethal concentrations of waterborne copper induce cellular stress and cell death in zebrafish embryos and larvae 
      Hernández, Pedro P.; Undurraga, Cristian; Gallardo, Viviana E.; Mackenzie, Natalia; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Reyes, Ariel E. (SOC BIOLGIA CHILE, 2011)
      Copper is an essential ion that forms part of the active sites of many proteins. At the same time, an excess of this metal produces free radicals that are toxic for cells and organisms. Fish have been used extensively to ...
