(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 ...
Introduction to supramolecular complex formation in cell signaling and disease
(Society of Biology of Chile, 2002)
In summary, formation of multi-protein complexes is an essential if not defining feature of eukaryotic signaling. Clearly, we now appreciate this fact and are beginning to grasp some of the underlying guiding principles. ...
Calcium mediates dorsoventral patterning of mesoderm in Xenopus
(Cell Press, 2001)
Calcium signals participate in the differentiation of electrically excitable and nonexcitable cells; one example of this differentiation is the acquisition of mature neuronal phenotypes [1]. For example, transient elevations ...
Autophagy impairment: A crossroad between neurodegeneration and tauopathies
(2012)
Most neurodegenerative diseases involve the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the nervous system. Impairment of protein degradation pathways such as autophagy is emerging as a consistent and transversal pathological ...
Effects of zinc on structural characteristics of proteoglycans synthesized by proliferating and hypertrophic chondrocytes in culture
(1996)
Zinc (Zn) supplementation has been shown to stimulate longitudinal growth under marginal nutritional status. The mechanisms by which Zn stimulates longitudinal growth are still unknown. We have previously investigated the ...
