Reyes R, Rodriguez-Munoz R, Nahmad M
PLoS One . 2025 Jan; 20(1):e0313067. PMID: 39752433
The mechanisms underlying the establishment of asymmetric structures during development remain elusive. The wing of Drosophila is asymmetric along the Anterior-Posterior (AP) axis, but the developmental origins of this asymmetry...

Rosas-Martinez L, Rodriguez-Munoz R, Namorado-Tonix M, Missirlis F, Del Valle-Mondragon L, Sanchez-Mendoza A, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2024 Dec; 25(23). PMID: 39684861
Chronic hyperglycemia results in morphological and functional alterations of the kidney and microvascular damage, leading to diabetic nephropathy (DN). Since DN progresses to irreversible renal damage, it is important to...

Flores-Flores M, Munoz-Nava L, Rodriguez-Munoz R, Zartman J, Nahmad M
Biol Open . 2023 May; 12(5). PMID: 37199309
Cell recruitment is a process by which a differentiated cell induces neighboring cells to adopt its same cell fate. In Drosophila, cells expressing the protein encoded by the wing selector...

Cetina-Palma A, Namorado-Tonix C, Rodriguez-Munoz R, Vergara P, Reyes-Sanchez J, Segovia J
PLoS One . 2023 Apr; 18(4):e0284816. PMID: 37093844
Growth Arrest-Specific 1 (Gas1) is a pleiotropic protein with different functions, in the adult kidney Gas1 acts as an endogenous inhibitor of cell proliferation but it is also necessary for...

Luna-Antonio B, Rodriguez-Munoz R, Namorado-Tonix C, Perez-Lopez A, Sanchez E, Vergara P, et al.
J Mol Histol . 2022 Oct; 53(6):925-946. PMID: 36272046
The Growth Arrest-Specific protein 1 (Gas1) has been recently described in kidney as an endogenous inhibitor of cell proliferation in mesangial cells and with an important role in the maintenance...

Barroeta-Echegaray E, Fonseca-Linan R, Arguello-Garcia R, Rodriguez-Munoz R, Bermudez-Cruz R, Nava P, et al.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol . 2022 Sep; 12:928687. PMID: 36093180
Enolase, a multifunctional protein expressed by multiple pathogens activates plasminogen to promote proteolysis on components of the extracellular matrix, an important event in early host-pathogen interactions. A secreted form of...

Rosas-Martinez L, Rodriguez-Munoz R, Namorado-Tonix M, Missirlis F, Del Valle-Mondragon L, Sanchez-Mendoza A, et al.
Life Sci . 2021 Jan; 268:119003. PMID: 33417957
Aims: This study attempts to elicit whether the level of hyperglycemia in an early stage of diabetic nephropathy changes the renal expression of claudins-2 and -5 and to determine the...

Sierra-Mondragon E, Rodriguez-Munoz R, Namorado-Tonix C, Molina-Jijon E, Romero-Trejo D, Pedraza-Chaverri J, et al.
Biomolecules . 2019 Sep; 9(10). PMID: 31557800
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) involves damage associated to hyperglycemia and oxidative stress. Renal fibrosis is a major pathologic feature of DN. The aim of this study was to evaluate anti-fibrogenic and...
