(Society of Biology of Chile, 2003)
One of the most eminent neuroscientists recently passed away in Paris. Professor Francisco Varela was a scholar that approached science with a remarkably broad and integrative perspective, deeply contributing to a diversity ...
Toxin-antitoxin systems in the mobile genome of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Copyright © 2014 Bustamante et al. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are genetic modules composed of a pair of genes encoding a stable toxin and an unstable antitoxin that inhibits toxin activity. They are widespread among ...
Genetic and phenotypic diversity in 2000 years old maize (Zea mays L.) samples from the Tarapacá region, Atacama Desert, Chile
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
The evolution of maize (Zea mays L.) is highly controversial given the discrepancies related to the phenotypic and genetic changes suffered by the species, the incidence of human groups and the times in which these changes ...
Transcriptome analysis of the intracellular facultative pathogen Piscirickettsia salmonis: expression of putative groups of genes associated with virulence and iron metabolism
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
The intracellular facultative bacteria Piscirickettsia salmonis is one of the most important
pathogens of the Chilean aquaculture. However, there is a lack of information regarding the
whole genomic transcriptional ...
Defense mechanism of citrus limon seedlings against fungal pathogens: signal transduction and pal gene
(1997)
Citrus limon seedlings respond to fungat attack inducing the phenylpropanoid pathway producing phytoalexins. The de nero synthesis of one of the main enzymes, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), is accomplished after 24 ...

New insights of the local immune response against both fertile and infertile hydatid cysts
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Background Cystic echinococcosis is caused by the metacestode of the zoonotic flatworm Echinococcus granulosus. Within the viscera of the intermediate host, the metacestode grows as a unilocular cyst known as hydatid cyst. ...

(Public Library of Science, 2014)
©2014 Goncalves et al.Lantana camara, a native plant from tropical America, is considered one of the most harmful invasive species worldwide. Several studies have identified potentially invasible areas under scenarios of ...
Comparative study of the neural differentiation capacity of mesenchymal stromal cells from different tissue sources: An approach for their use in neural regeneration therapies
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can trans/differentiate to neural precursors and/or mature neurons and promote neuroprotection and neurogenesis. The above could greatly benefit neurodegenerative disorders as well as in the ...
