The positive side of a negative reference: The delay between linguistic processing and common ground
(The Royal Society, 2017)Interlocutors converge on names to refer to entities. For example, a speaker might refer to a novel looking object as the jellyfish and, once identified, the listener will too. The hypothesized mechanism behind such ... -
Measuring the condylar unit in condylar hyperplasia: from the sigmoid notch or from the mandibular lingula?
(Churchill Livingstone, 2017)The objective of this study was to determine, in patients with active unilateral condylar hyperplasia, which is the most reliable point to measure the length of the condylar unit: from the sigmoid notch or from the mandibular ... -

Comparative pan-genome analysis of Piscirickettsia salmonis reveals genomic divergences within genogroups
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2017)Piscirickettsia salmonis is the etiological agent of salmonid rickettsial septicemia, a disease that seriously affects the salmonid industry. Despite efforts to genomically characterize P. salmonis, functional information ... -
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 ... -

(Sociedad Medica de Santiago, 2017)Background: Physical inactivity is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Aim: To identify factors associated with physical inactivity in Chilean adults. Material and Methods: Participants from the Chilean ... -
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 ... -
Characterization of a presymptomatic stage in a Drosophila Parkinson's disease model: Unveiling dopaminergic compensatory mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2017)Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder characterized by several motor symptoms including shaking, rigidity, slow movement and difficult walking, which has been associated to the death of nigro-striatal ... -
Synergistic interactions between phenolic compounds identified in grape pomace extract with antibiotics of different classes against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli
(Public Library of Science, 2017)Synergy could be an effective strategy to potentiate and recover antibiotics nowadays useless in clinical treatments against multi-resistant bacteria. In this study, synergic interactions between antibiotics and grape ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Wing phosphorylation is a major functional determinant of the Lrs14-type biofilm and motility regulator AbfR1 in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017)In response to a variety of environmental cues, prokaryotes can switch between a motile and a sessile, biofilm-forming mode of growth. The regulatory mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying this switch are largely ... -
