Gallstones, Body Mass Index, C-Reactive Protein, and Gallbladder Cancer: Mendelian Randomization Analysis of Chilean and European Genotype Data
(Wiley, 2021)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a neglected disease with substantial geographical variability: Chile shows the highest incidence worldwide, while GBC is relatively rare in Europe. Here, we investigate the ...
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein and all-cause mortality in four diverse populations: The CRONICAS Cohort Study
(Elsevier, 2022)
Purpose: To assess the association between all-cause mortality and hs-CRP, based mainly on the cumulative burden approach. Methods: Cohort study with adults ≥35 years from general population, using hs-CRP at two timepoints: ...
Cross-reactivity between the soybean protein P34 and bovine caseins
(Korean Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2015-01)
Purpose: Soy-based formulas are widely used as dairy substitutes to treat milk allergy patients. However, reactions to soy have been reported in a small proportion of patients with IgE-mediated milk allergies. The aim of ...
Cross-reactive antibodies to target proteins are dependent upon oligomannose glycosylated epitopes in HTLV-1 associated neurological disease
(Springer, 2012)
Our lab recently identified a cross-reactive antibody response between human T-lymphotropic virus type-1- p24-(gag) (HTLV-1-p24-(gag)) and peroxiredoxin-1 (PrX- 1) as potentially contributing to the pathogenesis of HTLV-1 ...
C-reactive protein, platelets, and patent ductus arteriosus
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016-11)
The association between inflammation, platelets, and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has not been studied so far. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether C-reactive protein (CRP) is related to low platelet count ...
Arenavirus Z protein as an antiviral target: virus inactivation and protein oligomerization by zinc finger-reactive compounds
(Society for General Microbiology, 2006-05)
Several disulfide-based and azoic compounds have shown antiviral and virucidal properties against arenaviruses in virus yield-inhibition and inactivation assays, respectively. The most effective virucidal agent, the aromatic ...
Effect of the protein corona on the colloidal stability and reactivity of LDH-based nanocarriers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-03-15)
The physicochemical properties of drug nanocarriers such as layered double hydroxide nanoparticles (LDH-NPs) determine their circulation times in biological media and their interaction with the targeted cells. Nevertheless, ...
