    • Functional Role of the Disulfide Isomerase ERp57 in Axonal Regeneration 
      Castillo, Valentina; Oñate, Maritza G.; Woehlbier, Ute; Rozas, Pablo; Andreu, Catherine; Medinas Bilches, Danilo; Valdés, Pamela; Osorio, Fabiola; Mercado, Gabriela; Vidal, René L.; Kerr, Bredford; Court, Felipe A.; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Public Library Science, 2015)
      ERp57 (also known as grp58 and PDIA3) is a protein disulfide isomerase that catalyzes disulfide bonds formation of glycoproteins as part of the calnexin and calreticulin cycle. ERp57 is markedly upregulated in most common ...
    • Mystery solved: Trehalose kickstarts autophagy by blocking glucose transport 
      Mardones, Pablo; Rubinsztein, David; Hetz Flores, Claudio (AAAS, 2016)
      Although vertebrates cannot synthesize the natural disaccharide trehalose, exogenous administration of trehalose to mammalian cells may be beneficial for protein misfolding disorders. In this issue, DeBosch et al. show ...
