Short timescale dynamics of phytoplankton in Fildes Bay, Antarctica
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2017)Phytoplankton is responsible for most primary production in Antarctica, but the short timescale dynamics of its size structure and composition are poorly described and understood. The abundance and composition of phytoplankton ... -
Axonal degeneration during aging and its functional role in neurodegenerative disorders
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2017)Aging constitutes the main risk factor for the development of neurodegenerative diseases. This represents a major health issue worldwide that is only expected to escalate due to the ever-increasing life expectancy of the ... -
Axonal degeneration induced by glutamate excitotoxicity is mediated by necroptosis
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2018)Neuronal excitotoxicity induced by glutamate leads to cell death and functional impairment in a variety of central nervous system pathologies. Glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity triggers neuronal apoptosis in the cell soma ... -
Transgenerational diapause as an avoidance strategy against bacterial pathogens in Caenorhabditis elegans
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017)The dynamic response of organisms exposed to environmental pathogens determines their survival or demise, and the outcome of this interaction depends on the host’s susceptibility and pathogen-dependent virulence factors. ... -
Effectiveness of interventions to prevent motorcycle injuries: systematic review of the literature
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS, 2017)Globally, 49% of deaths from traffic crashes occur among vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists. Approximately, a quarter of those killed are motorcyclists. The authors carried out a ... -
Fungal planet description sheets: 716–784
(National Herbarium Nederland, 2018)Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Australia, Chaetopsina eucalypti on Eucalyptus leaf litter, Colletotrichum cobbittiense from Cordyline stricta x C. australis ... -
NMDA receptor subunit composition controls dendritogenesis of hippocampal neurons through CAMKII, CREB-P, and H3K27ac
(Wiley-Liss Inc., 2017)Dendrite arbor growth, or dendritogenesis, is choreographed by a diverse set of cues, including the NMDA receptor (NMDAR) subunits NR2A and NR2B. While NR1NR2B receptors are predominantly expressed in immature neurons and ... -
Aumento del índice de masa corporal durante las últimas cuatro décadas en la población chilena: de la desnutrición a la obesidad
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2017)Este artículo corresponde a una carta al editor en que se comenta la investigación "Collaboration NRF. Trends in adult body-mass index in 200 countries from 1975 to 2014: a pooled analysis of 1698 population-based measurement ... -
Lahar simulation at active volcanoes of the Southern Andes: implications for hazard assessment
(Springer, 2015)Lahars are catastrophic events that have the potential to cause the loss of life and damage to infrastructure over inhabited areas. Consequently the zoning of associated hazards is a critical task. We evaluated the lahar ... -
Biocultural homogenization in Urban settings: Public knowledge of birds in city parks of Santiago, Chile
(MDPI AG, 2017)An understudied consequence of growing urbanization is the rapid and concurrent loss of native biological and cultural diversity. Here, we measured the concordance between avian species richness in public green areas of ... -
¿Puede el ejercicio físico per se disminuir el peso corporal en sujetos con sobrepeso/obesidad?
(Sociedad Medica de Santiago, 2017)The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing, creating a public health problem. The loss of approximately 10% of body weight is recommended to reduce the risk of mortality associated with metabolic diseases and ... -
PAMAM Dendrimers as Support for the Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles: Understanding the Effect of the Terminal Groups
(American Chemical Society, 2017)The interaction between hydroxyl-, aldehyde-, and amino-terminated PAMAM GO dendrimers with gold nanoclusters Au (n = 2, 4, 6, and 8) was studied theoretically at the DFT level. Different coordination sites were explored, ... -
Stimulated Raman adiabatic control of a nuclear spin in diamond
(American Physical Society, 2017)Coherent manipulation of nuclear spins is a highly desirable tool for both quantum metrology and quantum computation. However, most of the current techniques to control nuclear spins lack fast speed, impairing their ... -
The power of a control qubit in weak measurements
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017)In the late 80 s, a curious effect suggested by Aharanov et al. was found to lead to an anomalous amplification based on quantum measurements of weakly coupled systems. In this paper, we investigate the quantum control of ... -
Fungal systematics and evolution: FUSE 3
(Verlag Ferdinand Berger und Sohne GmbH, 2017)The present study introduces seven new species, one new combination, one new variety and several interesting taxonomical notes and/or geographical records. Most of the new taxa are Ascomycetes, but the study also includes ... -
Association between FTO (ns9939609) genotype and adiposity markers in Chilean adults [Asociación entre el polimorfismo rs9939609 del gen FTO y marcadores de adiposidad en población adulta chilena]
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2018)Background: Numerous studies have identified the role of Fat-mass-associated-gene (FTO) in the development of obesity. Aim: To investigate the association of FTO gene with adiposity markers in Chilean adults. Material and ... -
Herpes simplex virus type 1 neuronal infection perturbs golgi apparatus integrity through activation of src tyrosine kinase and Dyn-2 GTPase
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2017)Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a ubiquitous pathogen that establishes a latent persistent neuronal infection in humans. The pathogenic effects of repeated viral reactivation in infected neurons are still unknown. ... -
Molecular interaction between type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease through cross-seeding of protein misfolding
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)Numerous epidemiological studies have shown a significantly higher risk for development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in patients affected by type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the molecular mechanism responsible for this association ... -
