      Programmed cell death is regulated by the balance between activating and inhibitory signals. Here, we have identified RECS1 (responsive to centrifugal force and shear stress 1) [also known as TMBIM1 (transmembrane BAX ...
    • Vidal, R.; Caballero, B.; Couve Correa, Andrés; Hetz Flores, Claudio (2011)
      A variety of neurological diseases including Huntington's disease (HD), Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease share common neuropathology, primarily featuring the presence of abnormal protein inclusions containing ...
    • Martínez Bravo, Gabriela; Durán Aniotz, Claudia; Cabral Miranda, Felipe; Vivar, Juan P.; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Blackwell, 2017)
      Perturbed neuronal proteostasis is a salient feature shared by both aging and protein misfolding disorders. The proteostasis network controls the health of the proteome by integrating pathways involved in protein synthesis, ...
    • Mercado, Gabriela; Castillo, Valentina; Soto, Paulina; Sidhu, Anita (Elsevier, 2016)
      The major clinical feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) is impairment in motor control as a result of extensive dopaminergic neuron loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The central pathological hallmark of PD is the ...
