    • Villalobos, Jorge; Muñoz, Víctor; Rogan Castillo, José; Zarama, Roberto; Penagos, Juan Felipe; Toledo Cabrera, Benjamín; Valdivia Hepp, Juan (Amer Inst Physics, 2015)
      We propose a model of a bus traveling through a sequence of traffic lights, which is required to stop between the traffic signals to pick up passengers. A two dimensional model, of velocity and traveled time at each traffic ...
    • Rojas Benítez, Diego; Thiaville, Patrick C.; Crécy-Lagard, Valérie de; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro (Amer Soc Biochemistry Molecular Biology, 2015)
      N-6-Threonylcarbamoyl-adenosine (t(6)A) is a universal modification occurring at position 37 in nearly all tRNAs that decode A-starting codons, including the eukaryotic initiator tRNA (tRNA(i)(Met)). Yeast lacking central ...
    • Vásquez Soto, Beatriz; Manríquez, Nicolás; Cruz Amaya, Mirna; Zouhar, Jan; Raikhel, Natasha V.; Norambuena Morales, Lorena (Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2015)
      Background: A highly regulated trafficking of cargo vesicles in eukaryotes performs protein delivery to a variety of cellular compartments of endomembrane system. The two main routes, the secretory and the endocytic pathways ...
    • Falcón Urrutia, Paulina; Carrasco, Carlos M.; Lois, Pablo; Palma, Verónica; Roth Metcalfe, Alejandro Darío (Public Library Science, 2015)
      Primary Cilia (PC) are a very likely place for signal integration where multiple signaling pathways converge. Two major signaling pathways clearly shown to signal through the PC, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) and PDGF-Ra, are ...
    • Castillo, Juan P.; Rui, Huan; Basilio Seyler, Daniel; Das, Avisek; Roux, Benoit; Latorre, Ramón; Bezanilla, Francisco; Holmgren, Miguel (Nature, 2015)
      The Na+/ K+-ATPase restores sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) electrochemical gradients dissipated by action potentials and ion-coupled transport processes. As ions are transported, they become transiently trapped between ...
    • Jiménez, Carolina; Fontúrbel, Francisco E.; Oda, Esteban; Ramírez, Patricia A.; Botto Mahan, Carezza (Elsevier, 2015)
      Parasite-mediated behavioral changes in their hosts have been documented in many species, but field evidence is scarce. The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi is transmitted by insect vectors to several mammal species. Although ...
    • Veloz, Tomás; Pinto Jiménez, Manuel (Elsevier, 2015)
      We study the solution of a class of PDE with piecewise constant argument of generalized type. Separation of variables leads to a solution formed by a series of products. In previous works, the convergence and bounds of the ...
    • Areche Medina, Carlos (MDPI AG, 2015)
      The antioxidant features, polyphenolic composition and chromatographic fingerprints of the aerial parts from three Chilean endemic plants from the Paposo Valley located on the cost of the Atacama Desert were investigated ...
