Con una edición bilingüe en castellano e inglés, este manual se ha realizado con la participación del PDI y del PAS de los Departamentos de Biología Vegetal, Botánica, Bioquímica, Biología Molecular, así como de...

Current knowledge of the nervous system, particularly the brain, is the result of technological advances and the collective effort of many scientists. However, it was Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934) who played a cr...

The OXE receptor is a GPCR activated by eicosanoids produced by the action of 5-lipoxygenase. We previously found that this membrane receptor participates in the regulation of cAMP-dependent and -independent steroidogene...

Abstract Background The efficacy of conventional αβ T cell-based immunotherapies is often limited by tumor immune evasion. γδ T cells can bypass these limitations through MHC-independent tumor recognition, but their ...

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the arterial wall that leads to the formation of vessel‐occluding plaques within the subintimal space of middle‐sized and larger arter-ies. While traditionally u...

To characterize peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cells phenotypes by flow cytometry as potential biomarker of liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfected patients. Samples ...

The dynamics of carrier recombination and transport of two CuInS2 superstrate solar cells was studied by intensity modulated photovoltage and photocurrent spectroscopy (IMVS and IMPS respectively). For the analysis of th...

Background: Embryonic stem (ES) cells have the potential to produce unlimited numbers of surrogate insulin-producing cells for cell replacement therapy of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The impact of the in vivo environment o...

Abstract Adoptive cell therapy is a promising strategy in cancer treatment, among which NK cell therapies represent an encouraging approach. Freshly isolated NK cells exhibit low cytolytic activity. Therefore, efficient ...

Cocaine intake is associated with testicular toxicity and significantreproductive function impairment. There is accumulating evidencethat cocaine administration can trigger nongenetic inheritancethrough the male germ lin...

Decidualization is a process that involves phenotypic and functional changes of endometrial stromal cells to sustain endometrial receptivity and the participation of immunoregulatory factors to maintain immune homeostasi...

During postpartum, dairy cows experience immune modulation not only locally in the uterus, but also in the peripheral immune response in order to achieve implantation and pregnancy. This immune response is directly influ...

To induce new bone formation, mesenchymal stem cells were seeded onto atelocollagen honeycomb scaffold. We evaluated the efficacy of this scaffold combined with KUSA/A1 cells in vivo. KUSA/A1 cells alone and with ateloco...

Abstract Background Bone marrow-derived cell (BMDC) transplantation is increasingly recognized as a valuable strategy in regenerative therapies. However, the data regarding the impact of BMDC transplantation on the sever...

The coculture with somatic cells is an alternative to improve suboptimal in vitro culture (IVC) conditions and promote embryo development. Several cell types have been used for this purpose, but there is no information a...

The homomeric α7 nicotinic receptor (nAChR) is one of the most abundant nAChRs in the central nervous system where it contributes to cognition, attention, and working memory. α7 nAChR is also present in lymphocytes, de...

The avian retina is composed of different types of photoreceptors responsible for image and non-image forming tasks: the visual photoreceptor cells (cones and rods), the melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photoresponsiv...

OBJETIVOS: estudar a relação dos fatores biocomportamentais (idade, menarca, número de gestações e precocidade sexual) com alterações das células de Langerhans em mulheres com captura híbrida negativa para HPV. ...

NK cells-based cancer therapy combined with chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of tumors can enhance the immunosensitivity of NK cells, increase the expression of NK cell receptors, and eventually boost the killing...

PURPOSE: In placentas from uncomplicated pregnancies, Hofbauer cells either disappear or become scanty after the fourth to fifth month of gestation. Immunohistochemistry though, reveals that a high percentage of stromal ...

BackgroundBoth insulin and glucagon have been extensively studied due to their critical roles in glucose metabolism, development, and disease. However, there is limited information about the molecular characteristics of ...

Ficolins activate the lectin pathway of the complement system upon binding to carbohydrate patterns on pathogens. To characterize the producer cells of ficolin-B the expression of mouse ficolin-B, the orthologue of human...
