Inmunología, 4a ed., hace énfasis en el sistema inmunológico humano y presenta conceptos clave de manera coherente, concisa y contemporánea acerca de cómo funciona. Escrito para estudiantes de las carreras de medici...

A major problem in structural biology is the recognition of errors in experimental and theoretical models of protein structures. The ProSA program (Protein Structure Analysis) is an established tool which has a large use...

Homology modelling has matured into an important technique in structural biology, significantly contributing to narrowing the gap between known protein sequences and experimentally determined structures. Fully automated ...

Background-Although PBL is effective in biology learning, this approach often triggers cognitive overload when the complexity of the material and instructional demands exceed students' working memory capacity, while ther...

In recent times, the exponential growth of sequenced genomes and structural knowledge of proteins, as well as the development of computational tools and controlled vocabularies to deal with this growth, has fueled a dema...

The science of light and colour manipulation continues to generate interest across a range of disciplines, from mainstream biology, across multiple physics-based fields, to optical engineering. Furthermore, the study of ...

Abstract Ornithine lipids (OLs) are phosphorus-free membrane lipids present in many bacteria, but absent from eukaryotes and archaea. Three pathways for OL synthesis have been reported to date. Conditions that induce OL ...

ABSTRACT Biofilms play a crucial role in medical, industrial, and environmental microbiology, yet their structural complexity often makes them challenging to study in undergraduate teaching laboratories. We present a sim...

The complement system is a blood-based immune network that plays a crucial role in fighting infection and maintaining immune homeostasis. The membrane attack complex (MAC) is a pore assembled from complement proteins tha...

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...

In spite of their central role in orchestrating immunity, dendritic cells (DCs) can also limit harmful reactions and promote immune tolerance by inducing T cell anergy or favoring the differentiation of T regulatory (Tre...

Differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) using the inherent fluorescence of proteins (nDSF) is a popular technique to evaluate thermal protein stability in different conditions (e.g. buffer, pH). In many cases, ligand bin...

The illumination of azobenzene molecules with UV/visible light efficiently converts the molecules between trans and cis isomerization states. Isomerization is accompanied by a large photo-induced molecular motion, which ...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is best understood as a dynamically evolving genomic ecosystem shaped by inherited susceptibility, early oncogenic events, and continuous selective pressures. We propose an evolutionary genomics fra...
