Modeling Elementary Students' Ideas about Heredity: A Comparison of Curricular Interventions

Stem education interventions

Cisterna D, Forbes CT.
GSID: 78_mNIC_4S0J
CT Forbes, D Cisterna… - The American Biology …, 2019 - online.ucpress.edu

Learning about heredity is important across the K–12 continuum. However, these ideas may be challenging for students. We examined third-grade students' ideas about heredity in the context of a new, six-week, model-based science unit that uses corn as a...

On Biophysical Properties and Sensitivity to Gap Junction Blockers of Connexin 39 Hemichannels Expressed in HeLa Cells.

Frontiers in physiology

Vargas AA, Cisterna BA, Saavedra-Leiva F, Urrutia C, Cea LA, Vielma AH, Gutierrez-Maldonado SE, Martin AJ, Pareja-Barrueto C, Escalona Y, Schmachtenberg O, Lagos CF, Perez-Acle T, Sáez JC.
PMID: 28232803
Front Physiol. 2017 Feb 09;8:38. doi: 10.3389/fphys.2017.00038. eCollection 2017.

Although connexins (Cxs) are broadly expressed by cells of mammalian organisms, Cx39 has a very restricted pattern of expression and the biophysical properties of Cx39-based channels [hemichannels (HCs) and gap junction channels (GJCs)] remain largely unknown. Here, we used...

Astrocytes at the Hub of the Stress Response: Potential Modulation of Neurogenesis by miRNAs in Astrocyte-Derived Exosomes.

Stem cells international

Luarte A, Cisternas P, Caviedes A, Batiz LF, Lafourcade C, Wyneken U, Henzi R.
PMID: 29081809
Stem Cells Int. 2017;2017:1719050. doi: 10.1155/2017/1719050. Epub 2017 Sep 07.

Repetitive stress negatively affects several brain functions and neuronal networks. Moreover, adult neurogenesis is consistently impaired in chronic stress models and in associated human diseases such as unipolar depression and bipolar disorder, while it is restored by effective antidepressant...

Oscillatory thermomechanical instability of an ultrathin catalyst.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Cirak F, Cisternas JE, Cuitiño AM, Ertl G, Holmes P, Kevrekidis IG, Ortiz M, Rotermund HH, Schunack M, Wolff J.
PMID: 12817145
Science. 2003 Jun 20;300(5627):1932-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1083909.

Because of the small thermal capacity of ultrathin ( approximately 200 nanometers) metal single crystals, it is possible to explore the coupling of catalytic and thermal action at low pressures. We analyzed a chemothermomechanical instability in this regime, in...

Structure and growth of vapor-deposited n-dotriacontane films studied by X-ray reflectivity.

Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids

del Campo V, Cisternas E, Taub H, Vergara I, Corrales T, Soza P, Volkmann UG, Bai M, Wang SK, Hansen FY, Mo H, Ehrlich SN.
PMID: 19583228
Langmuir. 2009 Nov 17;25(22):12962-7. doi: 10.1021/la901808t.

We have used synchrotron X-ray reflectivity measurements to investigate the structure of n-dotriacontane (n-C(32)H(66) or C32) films deposited from the vapor phase onto a SiO(2)-coated Si(100) surface. Our primary motivation was to determine whether the structure and growth mode...

Influence of turbulence strength on temporal correlation of scintillation.

Optics letters

Anguita JA, Cisternas JE.
PMID: 21540982
Opt Lett. 2011 May 01;36(9):1725-7. doi: 10.1364/OL.36.001725.

Through extensive laboratory experimentation we demonstrate that the temporal frequency content of turbulence-induced scintillation strongly depends on the temperature gradient exerted at the propagation path of a collimated laser beam. We find a power law relating the turbulence strength...

New clinical score to diagnose nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in obese patients.

Diabetology & metabolic syndrome

Pulzi FB, Cisternas R, Melo MR, Ribeiro CM, Malheiros CA, Salles JE.
PMID: 21345221
Diabetol Metab Syndr. 2011 Feb 23;3(1):3. doi: 10.1186/1758-5996-3-3.

BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most frequent disease associated with abnormal liver tests that is characterized by a wide spectrum of liver damage, ranging from simple macro vesicular steatosis to steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis or liver carcinoma....

Quantum statistics of classical particles derived from the condition of a free diffusion coefficient.

Physical review. E

Hoyuelos M, Sisterna P.
PMID: 28085311
Phys Rev E. 2016 Dec;94(6):062115. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.94.062115. Epub 2016 Dec 12.

We derive an equation for the current of particles in energy space; particles are subject to a mean-field effective potential that may represent quantum effects. From the assumption that noninteracting particles imply a free diffusion coefficient in energy space,...

Back to full interseismic plate locking decades after the giant 1960 Chile earthquake.

Nature communications

Melnick D, Li S, Moreno M, Cisternas M, Jara-Muñoz J, Wesson R, Nelson A, Báez JC, Deng Z.
PMID: 30166533
Nat Commun. 2018 Aug 30;9(1):3527. doi: 10.1038/s41467-018-05989-6.

Great megathrust earthquakes arise from the sudden release of energy accumulated during centuries of interseismic plate convergence. The moment deficit (energy available for future earthquakes) is commonly inferred by integrating the rate of interseismic plate locking over the time...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a global epidemic, which involves a spectrum of metabolic disorders comprising diabetes and obesity. The impact of MetS on the brain is becoming to be a concern, however, the poor understanding of mechanisms involved has...
