The dawn and the first twenty-five years of proteomics in Mexico: a personal chronicle

Abstract: This review does not aim to be an up-to-date of proteomics in Mexico; it simply tries to trace its development, exposing the story of the researchers, laboratories and some institutions that have contributed to the establishment and development of this science in Mexico....

Omics-based biomarkers: current status and potential use in the clinic

Abstract: In recent years, the use of high-throughput omics technologies has led to the rapid discovery of many candidate biomarkers. However, few of them have made the transition to the clinic. In this review, the promise of omics technologies to contribute to the process of biomarker development is des...

Omics techniques and biobanks to find new biomarkers for the early detection of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in middle-income countries: a perspective from Mexico

Abstract: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) affects the quality of life of many children in the world and particularly in Mexico, where a high incidence has been reported. With a proper financial investment and with well-organized institutions caring for those patients, together with solid platforms to ...

Proteomic analysis of latex from Jatropha curcas L. stems and comparison of two classic proteomic sample isolation methods: the phenol extraction and the TCA/acetone extraction

Background: Jatropha curcas is a wide-spreading latex-rich biodiesel plant with high oil content in seeds that have always been under intense studies. However, studies are lacking on the latex component that is considered rich in proteins with potentially important physiological functions and secondary m...

The Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identification versus biochemical tests: a study with enterobacteria from a dairy cattle environment

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (1), 2017
Abstract Mastitis adversely affects milk production and in general cows do not regain their full production levels post recovery, leading to considerable economic losses. Moreover the percentage decrease in milk production depends on the specific pathogen that caused the infection and enterobacteria are ...

Biofilm production and beta-lactamic resistance in Brazilian Staphylococcus aureus isolates from bovine mastitis

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (1), 2017
Abstract Staphylococcus spp. play an important role in the etiology of bovine mastitis. Staphylococcus aureus is considered the most relevant species due to the production of virulence factors such as slime, which is required for biofilm formation. This study aimed to evaluate biofilm production and its ...

Protective effect of milk against dental demineralization: understanding the mechanisms

This study aimed to answer the following questions: 1) does whole fluoridated milk protect more against enamel and dentin erosion than fat-free fluoridated milk? 2) does the protective effect of fluoridated milk against erosion follow a dose-response relationship? 3) is the treatment with whole or fat-fr...

Mecanismos intracelulares induzidos por leucotrienos durante a diferenciação osteogênica

Os leucotrienos (LTs) são mediadores inflamatórios derivados da via 5- lipoxigenase (5-LO), com contribuição relevante na reabsorção óssea. Neste estudo investigamos o papel dos LTs na diferenciação osteogênica e o seu impacto na osteoclatogênese. Assim, foi avaliado o perfil ósseo dos camund...

Proteomic analysis of liver in mice with different susceptibilities to fluorosis

Fluoride (F) is a potent anti-cariogenic element, but only an appropriate dose is effective to have therapeutic action, else systemic toxicity may be observed. Additionally, two factors, amount of F and time of exposure, drive its action. Surprisingly, the susceptibility to toxic effects of F is genetica...

Caracterização do secretoma de cepas de Xylella fastidiosa

As doenças causadas pelo fitopatógeno Xylella fastidiosa, uma bactéria Gram-negativa, devem-se aos seus múltiplos fatores de virulência, tais como formação de biofilme, secreção de enzimas de degradação da parede celular do xilema (CWDE), expressão de proteínas de adesão e produção de ves...
