This study assesses for the first time the relationship between annual cycles of different biological indices with growth patterns of a marine pejerrey Odontesthes argentinensis population near its southern-distribution ...

Immunophilins are a family of proteins whose signature domain is the peptidylprolylisomerase domain. High molecular weight immunophilins are characterized by the additional presence of tetratricopeptide-repeats (TPR) thr...

Abstract Objective Intestinal organoids serve as important tools for drug screening, but the extent to which they recapitulate in vivo tissue microenvironments and drug responses remains inadequately evaluated. This s...

Some 25 years after its founding as a marine laboratory in 1898 by Tufts University, The Mt. Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) became a center for advances in renal physiology for the next 90 years. Populated b...

Abstract Biological soft tissues manipulation, including conventional (mechanical) and nonconventional (laser, waterjet and ultrasonic) processes, is critically required in most surgical innervations. However, the soft t...

Abstract Background Gas-phase bioprocesses that immobilize microbial cells on solid carriers enable efficient conversion of volatile or poorly water-soluble substrates. Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5 is a highly adhesive bacter...

ABSTRACT Although the issue of temporality has mainly been studied from Physics, this topic also exhibits diverse interesting aspects that could be addressed from a biological perspective. One possible way of approaching...

Shellfish peptides, recognized as a valuable source of marine bioactive compounds, have garnered increasing attention because of their diverse physiological functions and potential functional food, pharmaceutical, and co...

Monitored natural recovery (MNR) is an in situ technique of conventional remediation for the treatment of contaminated sediments that relies on natural processes to reduce the bioavailability or toxicity of contaminants....

In poorly known groups for which data are insufficient to develop biologically plausible model-based approaches to phylogeographical analyses, a ‘first hypotheses’ protocol is suggested as offering the best way to ge...

Bacteria of the genus Bradyrhizobium are able to establish a symbiotic relationship with peanut (Arachis hypogaea) root cells and to fix atmospheric nitrogen by converting it to nitrogenous compounds. Quorum sensing (QS)...

Bile acids in fish, as in other vertebrates, represent a complex metabolic system the composition of which depends on species, age, diet, and environmental conditions. Their ratio is closely associated with enterohepatic...

Rapid progress of experimental biology has provided a huge flow of quantitative data, which can be analyzed and understood only through the application of advanced techniques recently developed in theoretical sciences. O...

Biological reactions occur in a highly organized spatiotemporal context and with kinetics that are modulated by multiple environmental factors. To integrate these variables in our experimental investigations of 'native' ...

Background: Forests are used for multiple purposes worldwide, which often include timber harvest, firewood extraction and livestock raising. An excessive pressure on multipurpose systems may decrease soil cover, promotin...

The contamination of different substrates with diverse types of substances urgently requires theapplication of processes that allow them to be completely removed or, at least, greatly reduced. Theapplication of phytoreme...

Third-generation biomass constitutes a renewable energy source that could substitute fossil fuels. This study evaluated the biomethane potential (BMP) of Ulva sp., Codium sp. and Undaria pinnatifida through anaerobic dig...

Reparation of damaged tissues is an essential biological process that ensures maintenance of homeostasis. Basically it includes phases of inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. The result of healing of damaged tissu...

Old fields are spreading in the world because of agriculture abandonment, and they show a persistence of exotic plant species with little recovery towards the original vegetation composition. Soil biota may also differ b...

Abstract Microplastic pollution in freshwater is a global concern, yet field monitoring often lacks standardization, hindering data comparability and analysis. This systematic review bridges the gap between lab findings ...

Abstract Background As dementia cases continue to rise, effective prevention strategies are urgently needed. However, objective biomarkers that directly reflect lifestyle factors remain limited. Life’s Essential 8 (LE8...

Abstract The MYB transcription factor family is one of the largest and most functionally diverse groups of transcription factors in angiosperms. Members of this family participate in a wide array of biological processes,...

This study employed hepatic transcriptional changes to catalogue signature genes associated with divergent residual average daily gain (RADG) phenotypes in crossbred beef steers. A total of 108 crossbred beef steers (ave...

In the past years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have become an important field of research since EVs have been found to play a central role in biological processes. In pathogens, EVs are involved in several events during...
