    • Matus, Soledad; Valenzuela, Vicente; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2014)
      A current need in the neuroscience field is a simple method to monitor autophagic activity in vivo in neurons. Until very recently, most reports have been based on correlative and static determinations of the expression ...
    • Peñailillo, Johany; Palacios, Miriam; Mounieres, Constanza; Muñoz Videla, Rosana del Valle; Slater, Paula G.; Doménico, Elena de; Patrushev, Ilya; Gilchrist, Mike; Larraín, Juan (Nature, 2021)
      Xenopus laevis are able to regenerate the spinal cord during larvae stages through the activation of neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs). Here we use high-resolution expression profiling to characterize the early ...
    • Paris Pizarro, Irmgard; Muñoz, Patricia; Huenchuguala, Sandro; Couve, Eduardo; Sanders, Laurie H.; Greenamyre, John Timothy; Caviedes, Pablo; Segura Aguilar, Juan (2011)
      Aminochrome, the precursor of neuromelanin, has been proposed to be involved in the neurodegeneration neuromelanincontaining dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease. We aimed to study the mechanism of aminochrome-dependent ...
    • Silva, Victor D.A.; Urriola Cuevas, Carlos; Muñoz, Patricia; Villa, Monica; Ahumada-Castro, Ulises; Huenchuguala, Sandro; Dos Santos, Cleonice C.; De Araujo, Fillipe M.; Ferreira, Rafael; Da Silva, Vanessa B.; Silva, Juliana H.C.; Soares, Érica N.; Velozo, Eudes S.; Segura Aguilar, Juan (Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2017)
      © 2017, Academia Brasileira de Ciencias. All rights reserved. Prosopis juliflora is a shrub that has been used to feed animals and humans. However, a synergistic action of piperidine alkaloids has been suggested to be ...
    • González Roca, Carolina; Cánovas, José; Fresno, Javiera; Couve, Eduardo; Court, Felipe A.; Couve Correa, Andrés (National Academy of Sciences, 2016)
      The regulation of the axonal proteome is key to generate and maintain neural function. Fast and slow axoplasmic waves have been known for decades, but alternative mechanisms to control the abundance of axonal proteins based ...
    • Muñoz, Juan P.; Huichalaf, Claudia H.; Orellana, Daniel; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo (2007)
      The cdk5/p35 complex has been implicated in a variety of functions related to brain development, including axonal outgrown and neuronal migration. In this study, by co-immunoprecipitation and pull-down experiments, we have ...
    • Delgado, María Graciela; Oliva, Carlos; López, Estefanía; Ibacache, Andrés; Galaz, Alex; Delgado, Ricardo; Barros, L. Felipe; Sierralta, Jimena (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
      The intercellular transport of lactate is crucial for the astrocyte-to-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS), a model of brain energetics according to which neurons are fueled by astrocytic lactate. In this study we show that the ...
    • Rozés Salvador, Victoria; Wilson, Carlos; Olmos Tapia, Cristina; Gonzalez Billault, Christian; Conde, Cecilia (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      Neural development is a complex process that involves critical events, including cytoskeleton dynamics and selective trafficking of proteins to defined cellular destinations. In this regard, Smad Anchor for Receptor ...
    • Aguilar Rivera, Marcelo; Kim, Sanggyun; Coleman, Todd P.; Maldonado, Pedro E.; Torrealba, Fernando (Nature, 2020)
      The insular cortex plays a central role in the perception and regulation of bodily needs and emotions. Its modular arrangement, corresponding with different sensory modalities, denotes a complex organization, and reveals ...
    • Bravo Valenzuela, José Ignacio; Jaureguiberry-Bravo, Matías; Couve, Andrés (2011)
      The highly polarized morphology and complex geometry of neurons is determined to a great extent by the structural and functional organization of the secretory pathway. It is intuitive to propose that the spatial arrangement ...
    • Cornejo, Víctor Hugo; González, Carolina; Campos, Matías; Vargas Saturno, Leslie; Juricic, María de los Ángeles; Miserey Lenkei, Stéphanie; Pertusa, María; Madrid, Rodolfo; Couve, Andrés (Cell Press, 2020)
      TRPM8 is the main ion channel responsible for cold transduction in the somatosensory system. Nerve terminal availability of TRPM8 determines cold sensitivity, but how axonal secretory organelles control channel delivery ...
    • Ottum, Payton A.; Arellano, Gabriel; Reyes, Lilian I.; Iruretagoyena, Mirentxu; Naves, Rodrigo (Frontiers Media, 2015)
      Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the principal cause of autoimmune neuroinflammation in humans, and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), is widely used to gain insight about their immunopathological ...
    • Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia; Bull Simpfendorfer, Ricardo; Marengo, Juan J.; Perez, Claudio F.; Donoso Laurent, Paulina (Society of Biology of Chile, 2000)
      The effects of redox reagents on the activity of the intracellular calcium release channels (ryanodine receptors) of skeletal and cardiac muscle, or brain cortex neurons, was examined. In lipid bilayer experiments, oxidizing ...
    • Luarte, Alejandro; Cornejo, Victor Hugo; Bertin, Francisca; Gallardo, Javiera; Couve Correa, Andrés (Wiley, 2018)
      The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is highly conserved in eukaryotes and neurons. Indeed, the localization of the organelle in axons has been known for nearly half a century. However, the relevance of the axonal ER is only ...
    • Bowen Moreno, Macarena; Terreros, Gonzalo; Moreno Gómez, Felipe N.; Ipinza Gómez, Macarena; Vicencio Jiménez, Sergio; Robles Wobbe, Luis; Délano Reyes, Paul (Nature, 2020)
      The auditory efferent system comprises descending projections from the cerebral cortex to subcortical nuclei, reaching the cochlear receptor through olivocochlear fibres. One of the functions attributed to this corticofugal ...
