    • Roine, Irmeli; Fernandez, J. Alonso; Vásquez, Alicia; Cáneo, Marianella (2005)
      In epidemiological studies of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease, breast milk has proven to be beneficial. However, a host mechanism that is associated with both disease severity and that is capable of being modulated ...
    • Reyes Cerpa, Sebastián; Vallejos Vidal, Eva; González Bown, María José; Morales Reyes, Jonathan; Pérez Stuardo, Diego; Vargas, Deborah; Imarai, Mónica; Cifuentes Guzmán, Víctor; Spencer, Eugenio; Sandino, Ana María; Reyes López, Felipe E. (Elsevier, 2018)
      Salmon farming may face stress due to the intensive culture conditions with negative impacts on overall performance. In this aspect, functional feed improves not only the basic nutritional requirements but also the health ...
    • Sánchez Valdéz, Fernando J.; Pérez Brandán, Cecilia; Ferreira, Arturo; Basombrío, Miguel Ángel (Expert Reviews, 2014)
      Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. This illness is now becoming global, mainly due to congenital transmission, and so far, there are no prophylactic or ...
    • Stojanova, Jana; Pouche, Lucie; Picard, Nicolas (Elsevier, 2016)
      The modulation of the immune system following solid organ transplantation has made considerable progress with new immunosuppressive regimens and has considerably improved rejections rates. The improvement in long-term ...
    • Larrañaga, Carmen L.; Ampuero, Sandra L.; Luchsinger, Vivian F.; Carrión, Flavio A.; Aguilar, Nelson V.; Morales, Pamela R.; Palomino Montenegro, María Angélica; Tapia, Lorena F.; Avendaño, Luis F. (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2009)
      Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of acute lower respiratory infection in infants. The immune response plays a leading role in the severity of the disease. We hypothesized that severe RSV disease ...
    • Catalán, Tamara P.; Niemeyer, Hermann M.; Kalergis, Alexis M.; Bozinovic, Francisco (2012)
      Since the preferential body temperature should positively correlate with physiological performance, behavioural fever should enhance an organism's immune response under an immune challenge. Here we have studied the ...
    • Ramírez Tolosa, Galia; Avello Cáceres, Paula; Ferreira Vigouroux, Luis Arturo (Frontiers Media, 2016)
      Eight to 10 million people in 21 endemic countries are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. However, only 30% of those infected develop symptoms of Chagas' disease, a chronic, neglected tropical disease worldwide. Similar to ...
    • Gamonal Aravena, Jorge Antonio; Acevedo, A.; Bascones, A.; Jorge, O.; Silva, A. (American Academy of Periodontology, 2000-10)
      Background: Various cytokines have been identified at sites of chronic inflammation such as periodontitis. Cytokines are synthesized in response to bacteria and their products, inducing and maintaining an inflammatory ...

    • Varas, Macarena; Fariña, Alonso; Díaz Pascual, Francisco; Ortíz-Severín, Javiera; Marcoleta, Andrés E.; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Santiviago, Carlos A.; Chávez, Francisco P. (Elsevier B.V., 2017)
      © 2017The zebrafish model has been used to determine the role of vertebrate innate immunity during bacterial infections. Here, we compare the in vivo immune response induced by GFP-tagged Salmonella Typhimurium inoculated ...
    • Bello, J.; Sáez, D.; Escalona, E.; Velozo, P.; Santiviago Cid, Carlos; Contreras, I.; Oñate, A. (Cambridge Univ. Press., 2016)
      Salmonella Enteritidis is the main cause of foodborne salmonellosis worldwide. The limited effectiveness of current interventions against this pathogen has been the main incentive to develop new methods for the efficient ...
    • Molina Reyes, Emiliano; Cataldo, Vicente F.; Eggers, Cristián; Muñoz Madrid, Valentina Elisa; Glavic Maurer, Alvaro Alberto (Frontiers Media, 2022)
      Cells extend membrane protrusions like lamellipodia and filopodia from the leading edge to sense, to move and to form new contacts. The Arp2/3 complex sustains lamellipodia formation, and in conjunction with the actomyosin ...
    • Aballai, Víctor; Aedo, Jorge E.; Maldonado, Jonathan; Bastias Molina, Macarena; Silva Ascencio, Herman; Meneses, Claudio; Boltaña, Sebastián; Reyes, Ariel; Molina, Alfredo; Valdés, Juan Antonio (Elsevier, 2017)
      Stress is a primary contributing factor of fish disease and mortality in aquaculture. We have previously reported that the red cusk-eel (Genypterus chilensis), an important farmed marine fish, demonstrates a handling-st ...
    • Varas, Macarena; Ortíz Severín, Javiera; Marcoleta Caldera, Andrés; Díaz Pascual, Francisco; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Santiviago Cid, Carlos; Chávez Espinosa, Francisco (Elsevier, 2017)
      Pathogenic Salmonella strains have a set of virulence factors allowing them to generate systemic infections and damage in a variety of hosts. Among these factors, bacterial proteins secreted by specialized systems are used ...
    • Vallejos Vidal, Eva; Reyes Cerpa, Sebastián; Rivas Pardo, Jaime Andrés; Maisey, Kevin; Yáñez López, José; Valenzuela, Héctor; Cea, Pablo A.; Castro Fernández, Víctor; Tort, Lluis; Sandino, Ana M.; Imarai, Mónica; Reyes López, Felipe E. (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are single genetic code variations considered one of the most common forms of nucleotide modifications. Such SNPs can be located in genes associated to immune response and, therefore, ...
