    • Anthraquinone Derivative Reduces Tau Oligomer Progression by Inhibiting Cysteine-Cysteine Interaction 
      Areche, Carlos; Zapata, Francisca; González, Mathias; Díaz, Esteban; Montecinos, Rubén; Hernández, Marcos; Melo, Francisco; Cornejo, Alberto (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2019)
      Tau protein is a natively unfolded protein whose primary role is to participate in axonal transport closely associated with microtubules. Neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease and Tauopathies involved ...
    • Detecting protein folding by thermal fluctuations of microcantilevers 
      Muñoz, Romina; Aguilar-Sandoval, Felipe; Bellon, Ludovic; Melo, Francisco (Public Library of Science, 2017)

    • Does bacterial elasticity affect adhesion to polymer fibers? 
      Tamayo Villarroel, Laura; Melo, Francisco; Caballero, Leonardo; Hamm, Eugenio; Díaz, M.; Leal, M. S.; Guiliani, Nicolás; Urzúa, M. D. (American Chemical Society, 2020)
      The factors governing bacterial adhesion to substrates with different topographies are still not fully identified. The present work seeks to elucidate for the first time and with quantitative data the roles of bacterial ...
    • Expression of transposable elements in neural tissues during Xenopus development 
      Faunes, Fernando; Sanchez, Natalia; Moreno, Mauricio; Olivares, Gonzalo H.; Lee-Liu, Dasfne; Almonacid, Leonardo; Slater, Alex W.; Norambuena, Tomas; Taft, Ryan J.; Mattick, John S.; Melo, Francisco; Larrain, Juan (2011)
      Transposable elements comprise a large proportion of animal genomes. Transposons can have detrimental effects on genome stability but also offer positive roles for genome evolution and gene expression regulation. Proper ...
    • General solution for shear strength estimate of RC elements based on panel response 
      Massone, Leonardo; Melo, Francisco (Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
      The capacity of structural systems subjected to shear loads commonly distinguished by discontinuities such as point loads or supports, or abrupt changes of cross section, where complex fields of stresses and strains are ...
    • Glycated collagen stimulates differentiation of gingival myofibroblasts 
      Retamal, Ignacio N.; Hernández, Romina; Melo, Francisco; Zapata, Paulina; Martínez Winkler, Jorge; Martínez, Constanza; Smith, Patricio C. (American Academy of Periodontology, 2017)
      Background: Glucose-derived metabolites may alter the structure and biologic properties of important proteins in periodontium, such as collagens. As a consequence, it is possible that collagen-binding cells may change their ...
    • Gold nanoparticle-membrane interactions: Implications in biomedicine 
      Riveros, Ana; Dadlani, Komal; Salas, Edison; Caballero, Leonardo; Melo, Francisco; Kogan Bocian, Marcelo (American Scientific Publishers, 2013)
      There has been an increase in the research towards the use of nanoparticles as a promising tool for nanomedicine, from imagenology, drug and gene delivery, to phototherapy. Little is known regarding the interaction between ...
    • Mechanical properties and electrical surface charges of microfibrillated cellulose/imidazole-modified ... 
      González Cortes, Pablo; Araya Hermosilla, Rodrigo; Araya Hermosilla, Esteban; Acuña, Daniela; Mautner, Andreas; Caballero, Leonardo; Melo, Francisco; Moreno Villoslada, Ignacio; Picchioni, Francesco; Rolleri, Aldo; Quero, Franck (Elsevier, 2020)
      In the present work, microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) suspensions were produced by high-pressure homogenization and subsequently used to fabricate MFC membranes (C-1) by vacuum filtration followed by hot-pressing. A ...
    • Stress transfer and matrix-cohesive fracture mechanism in microfibrillated cellulose-gelatin nanocomposite films 
      Quero, Franck; Padilla, Cristina; Campos, Vanessa; Luengo, Jorge; Caballero, Leonardo; Melo, Francisco; Li, Qiang; Eichhorn, Stephen J.; Enrione, Javier (Elsevier, 2018-09)
      Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) obtained from eucalyptus was embedded in gelatin from two sources; namely bovine and salmon gelatin. Raman spectroscopy revealed that stress is transferred more efficiently from bovine ...
