      Coalescing macroalgae may fusewith conspecifics, forming genetically heterogeneous entities known as chimera. This process has been shown in taxa from roughly half the red algal orders and in the Codium species, a green ...
    • Almárcegui, Rodrigo J.; Navarro, Claudio A.; Paradela, Alberto; Albar, Juan Pablo; Von Bernath Preece, Diego; Jerez Guevara, Carlos (American Chemical Society, 2014)
      Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is an extremophilic bacterium used in biomining processes to recover metals. The presence in A. ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 of canonical copper resistance determinants does not entirely explain ...
    • Castro Fernández, Víctor; Bravo Moraga, Felipe; Herrera Morandé, Alejandra; Guixé Leguía, Victoria Cristina (FEBS, 2014)
      In some archaea, the phosphorylation of glucose and fructose 6-phosphate (fructose 6P) is carried out by enzymes that are specific for either substrate and that use ADP as phosphoryl donor. In the hyperthermophilic ...
    • Quirici, Verónica; Venegas, Cristóbal I.; González Gómez, Paulina L.; Castaño Villa, Gabriel J.; Wingfield, John C.; Vásquez Salfate, Rodrigo (Elsevier, 2014)
      Glucocorticoids are essential for life and their secretion is regulated by the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA). The HPA axis is often divided into two components: baseline glucocorticoids levels and stress ...
    • Milla Brito, Luis Apolo; Arros Villanueva, Andrea Marisol; Espinoza, Natalie; Remke, Marc; Kool, Marcel; Taylor, Michael D.; Pfister, Stefan M.; Wainwright, Brandon J.; Palma Alvarado, Verónica (UICC, 2014)
      The canonical Sonic Hedgehog (Shh)/Gli pathway plays multiples roles during central nervous system (CNS) development. To elucidate the molecular repertoire of Shh mediators, we have recently described novel transcriptional ...
    • Den Blaauwen, Tanneke; Andreu, José Manuel; Monasterio Opazo, Octavio (Elsevier, 2014)
      Proteins involved in bacterial cell division often do not have a counterpart in eukaryotic cells and they are essential for the survival of the bacteria. The genetic accessibility of many bacterial species in combination with ...
    • Vega Zúniga, Tomás; Mpodozis Marín, Jorge; Marín Game, Gonzalo; Karten, Harvey J.; Hain, Sarah; Luksch, Harald (Wiley, 2014)
      The nucleus geniculatus lateralis pars ventralis (GLv) is a prominent retinal target in all amniotes. In birds, it is in receipt of a dense and topographically organized retinal projection. The GLv is also the target ...
    • Ortíz, Fernando C.; Vergara Montecinos, Cecilia; Alcayaga Urbina, Julio (Springer, 2014)
      Copper plays a key role in aerobic cell physiology mainly related to mitochondrial metabolism. This element is also present at higher than basal levels in some central nuclei and indeed, current evidence support copper’s ...
    • Otero, Rodrigo A.; Soto Acuña, Sergio; Vargas Milne, Alexander; Rubilar Rogers, David (Elsevier, 2014)
      We describe a new specimen of an elasmosaurid plesiosaur from the upper Maastrichtian of central Chile. The specimen includes a relatively complete dorso-caudal series, a few cervical vertebrae, and a fragmentary pelvic ...
    • García Beltrán, Olimpo; Areche, Carlos; Cassels Niven, Bruce; Cuca Suárez, Luis Enrique (Elsevier, 2014)
    • Contreras Ferrat, Ariel Eduardo; Llanos Vidal, Paola; Vásquez, César; Espinosa, Alejandra; Osorio Fuentealba, César; Arias Calderón, Manuel; Lavandero González, Sergio; Klip, Amira; Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique (The Company of Biologists Ltd, 2014)
      Insulin signaling includes generation of low levels of H2O2; however, its origin and contribution to insulin-stimulated glucose transport are unknown. We tested the impact of H2O2 on insulin-dependent glucose transport ...
    • Cerda Monje, Andrea; Ormazábal Toledo, Rodrigo; Cárdenas Valencia, Carlos; Fuentealba Rosas, Patricio; Contreras Ramos, Renato (ACS, 2014)
      The origin of catalysis and selectivity induced by room temperature ionic liquids in several organic reactions has putatively been associated with the concept of cation ef fect (hydrogen bond donor ability of the ionic ...
    • Sánchez Valdéz, Fernando J.; Pérez Brandán, Cecilia; Ramírez Toloza, Galia; Uncos, Alejandro D.; Zago, M. Paola; Cimino, Rubén O.; Cardozo, Rubén M.; Marco, Jorge D.; Ferreira Vigouroux, Luis Arturo; Basombrío, Miguel Angel (PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014-02)
      Trypanosoma cruzi calreticulin (TcCRT) is a virulence factor that binds complement C1, thus inhibiting the activation of the classical complement pathway and generating pro-phagocytic signals that increase parasite ...
    • García Beltrán, Olimpo; Yáñez, Osvaldo; Caballero, Julio; Galdámez Silva, Antonio; Mena, Natalia P.; Núñez González, Marco; Cassels Niven, Bruce (Elsevier, 2014)
      Three coumarin-derived fluorescent probes, 3-acetyl-7-[(6-bromohexyl)oxy]-2H-chromen-2-one (FM1), 7-[(6-bromohexyl)oxy]-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (FM2) and ethyl 2-{7-[(6-bromohexyl)oxy]-2-oxo- 2H-chromen-4-yl}acetate ...
    • Field, David; Rivara Zúñiga, María Cecilia (Elsevier, 2014)
      Starting with a boundary triangulation an algorithm automatically generates graded densities of triangular elements inside arbitrary polygonal domains. Interior nodes generated inside acute triangles receive spacing ...
    • Echeverría, Javier; Planella, María Teresa; Niemeyer Marich, August (Elsevier, 2014)
      Consumption of psychoactive substances has been important in the lives of indigenous American people for several millennia. While numerous studies have reported the occurrence of smoking pipes at archaeological sites, ...
    • Bultinck, Patrick; Cárdenas Valencia, Carlos; Fuentealba Rosas, Patricio; Johnson, Paul A.; Ayers, Paul W. (ACS, 2013)
      A system in a spatially (quasi-)degenerate ground state responds in a qualitatively different way to a change in the external potential. Consequently, the usual method for computing the Fukui function, namely, taking ...
