Journal ArticleDOI
Caveolins, caveolae, and lipid rafts in cellular transport, signaling, and disease.
TL;DR: More recent data addressing the role of caveolin-1 in cellular signaling and the development of diseases like cancer will be preferentially discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hypoxic testicle: physiology and pathophysiology.
Juan G. Reyes,Jorge G. Farías,Sebastián Henríquez-Olavarrieta,Eva Madrid,Mario Párraga,Andrea B. Zepeda,Ricardo D. Moreno +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that conditions such as germ cell apoptosis and DNA damage are common features in hypoxia and varicocele and testicular torsion and oxidative damage seems to be present in these conditions during the initiation stages of germ cell damage and apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caveolin-1 controls cell proliferation and cell death by suppressing expression of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein survivin.
Vicente A. Torres,Julio C. Tapia,Diego A. Rodriguez,Mario Párraga,Mario Párraga,Pamela Lisboa,Margarita Montoya,Lisette Leyton,Andrew F. G. Quest +8 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic properties of caveolin-1 may be attributed to reduced survivin expression via a mechanism involving diminished β-catenin-Tcf/Lef-dependent transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deterioration, decay and identification of fungi isolated from wooden structures at the Humberstone and Santa Laura saltpeter works: A world heritage site in Chile
Rodrigo Ortiz,Hugo Navarrete,José Navarrete,Mario Párraga,Ivo Carrasco,Eduardo de la Vega,M. Ortiz,Paula Herrera,Robert A. Blanchette +8 more
TL;DR: To identify the type of deterioration and decay taking place and to isolate and identify fungi from wood samples of structural elements at both sites, samples of deteriorated wood showed extensive degradation that resulted in a defibration of the wood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations of Biodeterioration by Fungi in Historic Wooden Churches of Chiloé, Chile
Rodrigo Ortiz,Mario Párraga,José Navarrete,Ivo Carrasco,Eduardo de la Vega,M. Ortiz,Paula Herrera,Joel A. Jurgens,Benjamin W. Held,Robert A. Blanchette +9 more
TL;DR: This study characterized the types of degradation taking place and identified the wood decay fungi obtained from eight historic churches in Chiloé, seven of them designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
