Journal ArticleDOI
Nuclease activity as a specific biomarker for breast cancer.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that cancer cells can be differentiated from healthy cells based on their nuclease activity profile, and thus, any method based on this property represents a novel alternative for diagnostic and therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery and Proof-of-Concept Study of Nuclease Activity as a Novel Biomarker for Breast Cancer Tumors
Luiza I. Hernandez,Marcos J. Araúzo-Bravo,Daniela Gerovska,Ricardo Rezola Solaun,Isabel Machado,Alien Balian,Juliana Botero,Tania Jiménez,Olaia Zuriarrain Bergara,Lide Larburu Gurruchaga,Ander Urruticoechea,Frank J. Hernandez +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of chemically modified nucleic acid probes were used to diagnose malignancy in breast tissue biopsies with high accuracy (89%), sensitivity (82%), and specificity (94%).
Patent
Aptamer-gated nanoparticles for lateral flow assays
TL;DR: In this article, a method for performing single step assays for the determination of the presence or absence of an analyte in a liquid sample, on a solid surface is presented. But the method is limited to a single-stage setup and requires the use of an aptamer coated and signal molecule loaded porous silica particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activatable MRI probes for the specific detection of bacteria
Prabu Periyathambi,Alien Balian,Zhangjun Hu,Daniel Padro,Luiza I. Hernandez,Kajsa Uvdal,João M. N. Duarte,Frank J. Hernandez +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an activatable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probe with the capability to detect Staphylococcus aureus using a specific oligonucleotide was presented.
Patent
Applications and tools based on silica particles coated with biological or synthetic molecules
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define gated silica nanoparticles into which chemical cargo materials or substances are embedded and of which surfaces are coated with biologically active gating molecules and apparatus employing such nanoparticles.
