    • Assessment of the Nature Interactions of beta-Amyloid Protein by a Nanoprobe Method 
      Caballero, Leonardo; Mena, Juan; Morales Alvarez, Aurora; Kogan Bocian, Marcelo; Melo, Francisco (Amer Chemical Soc, 2015)
      We present a method based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) to assess the work of adhesion between the interfaces of gold AFM tips functionalized with three peptides derived from beta-sheet breaker LPFFD [CLPFFD-NH2 (i(0)) ...
    • Case report: First report and phylogenetic analysis of porcine astroviruses in Chile 
      Flores Olivares, Carlos Andrés Felipe; Ariyama Takenaka, Naomi; Bennett Laso, Benjamín; Mena, Juan; Verdugo, Claudio; Mor, Sunil; Brito, Barbara; Ramírez Toloza, Galia Andrea; Neira Ramírez, Víctor Manuel (Frontiers Media, 2021)
      Porcine Astrovirus (PoAstV) causes mild diarrhea in young pigs and is considered an emerging virus in the swine industry worldwide. PoAstV has high genetic diversity and has been classified into five genetic lineages, ...
    • Circulation patterns of human seasonal influenza a viruses in Chile before H1N1pdm09 pandemic 
      Mena, Juan; Tapia, Rodrigo; Verdugo, Claudio; Avendaño Carvajal, Luis Fidel; Parra Castro, Paulina; Medina, Rafael A.; Barriga Pinto, Gonzalo Andrés; Neira Ramírez, Víctor Manuel (Nature, 2021)
      Understanding the diversity and circulation dynamics of seasonal influenza viruses is key to public health decision-making. The limited genetic information of pre-pandemic seasonal IAVs in Chile has made it difficult to ...
    • Reemergence of H3N8 Equine Influenza A virus in Chile, 2018 
      Mena, Juan; Brito, Bárbara; Moreira, Ruben; Tadich Gallo, Tamara; González, Igor; Cruces, Jaime; Ortega, Rene; van Bakel, Harm; Rathnasinghe, Raveen; Pizarro Lucero, José; Medina, Rafael; Neira, Víctor (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
      © 2018 Blackwell Verlag GmbH A new outbreak of equine Influenza A virus (IAV) was reported in Chile in January 2018, 6 years after its last report in 2012. Equine IAV was detected by rtRT-PCR, followed by virus isolation ...
    • Stable Conjugates of Peptides with Gold Nanorods for Biomedical Applications with Reduced Effects on Cell Viability 
      Adura, Carolina; Guerrero, Simón; Salas, Edison; Medel, Luis; Riveros, Ana; Mena, Juan; Arbiol, Jordi; Albericio, Fernando; Giralt, Ernest; Kogan Bocian, Marcelo (American Chemical Society, 2013)
      Gold nanorods used in therapy and diagnosis must be nontoxic and stable in biological media and should be specific for the target. The complete combination of these three factors has hindered the use of gold nanorods ...
    • Synthesis and in vivo evaluation of the biodistribution of a 18F-labeled conjugate gold-nanoparticle-peptide ... 
      Guerrero, Simon; Herance, José; Rojas, Santiago; Mena, Juan; Gispert, Juan; Acosta, Gerardo; Albericio, Fernando; Kogan Bocian, Marcelo (2012)
      Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been extensively used in biological applications because of their biocompatibility, size, and ease of characterization, as well as an extensive knowledge of their surface chemistry. These ...
