When studying the effects of nicotin on adrenal secretion it was found that the injection of this drug into the adrenal gland produced a marked increase of the epinephrin secretion. In this paper the effects of several o...

The search for substitutes for synthetic polymers in food packaging has received significant attention from both researchers and the industrial sector. A promising approach involves utilizing edible films based on tapioc...

The mechanisms that govern fibroblast behavior during the vascular adaptations of the uterus at early pregnancy remain unknown. Anandamide, an endocannabinoid, binds to cannabinoid receptors (CBs), and regulates gestatio...

We present herein an in-depth study on the activity of amidinoquinoxaline N-oxides 1 against Gram-positive and Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria. Based on 5-phenyl-2,3-dihydropyrimidoquinoxaline N-oxide 1a, the selected s...

In this study, an outwardly rectifying chloride channel was characterized in the trophoblastic cell line BeWo, a human hormone-synthesizing cell which displays many biochemical and morphological properties similar to tho...

Yeast biomass is a novel source for the production of biodegradable films and, joint to the incorporation of certain compounds from essential oils, it is possible to design promising active materials for food preservatio...

Rock avalanches move large volumes of material causing a highly destructive power over large areas. In these events, it is possible to monitor the evolution of slopes but failure cannot be always prevented. For this reas...

Hemolytic uremic syndrome related to Shiga toxin?producing Escherichia coli (STEC-HUS) is the principal etiology of acute kidney in-jury in children in Argentina.Previously, we demonstrated that Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2)...

Water homeostasis during fetal development is of crucial physiologic importance. The successful formation and development of the placenta is critical to maintain normal fetal growth and homeostasis. The expression of sev...

Persistence is a characteristic attribute of long-term memories (LTMs). However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that mediate this process. We recently showed that persistence of LTM requires a late protei...

Bacterial cellulose pellicles were produced by Gluconacetobacter xylinus using non conventional low-cost carbon sources, such as glycerol remaining from biodiesel production and grape bagasse, a residue of wine productio...

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) combines the use of photosensitizers with visible light to produce reactive oxygen species that effectively eliminate pathogens. To investigate the impact of near- infrared therapy (NIRT) ...

Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of neurobrucellosis where glial cell interactions are at the root of this pathological condition. In this study, we present evidence indicating that soluble factors secre...

Problem: The phenotype and function of regulatory T (Treg) cells in rats with experimental autoimmune orchitis (EAO) was evaluated. Method of study: Distribution of Treg cells in draining lymph nodes from the testis (TLN...

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 ...

Background: The curvature of the aortic arch is associated with the risk of endoleak formation after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). However, the adequate assessment of the angles of the aorta continues to r...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chronic treatment with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on renal function, nitric oxide (NO) system, oxidative stress, collagen content and apoptosis in ...

Chagas disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is endemic in 21 Latin American countries and the southern United States and now is spreading into several other countries due to migration. Despite the e...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is one of the most frequent and severe presentation of pediatric muscular dystrophies. There is great variability in the progression of the disease between DMD patients, even affected ma...

Edible films containing natural antimicrobials, like natamycin and nisin, constitute an emerging technology that provides an additional stress factor for food preservation. However, it has been observed that edible films...

Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are two neurodegenerative diseases associated to mislocalization and aggregation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43). To investigate in depth the b...

Cheese surfaces can be colonized by undesirable microorganisms during the different processing stages, with ripening being the most affected. Consumers demand have increased the interest in using natural antimicrobials s...

The new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announcement makes it even more necessary to find alternatives to trans fats. The effect of cooling rate and temperature cycles on crystallization behavior and polymorphism of t...

Diaphragmatic myoblasts (DM) are stem cells of the diaphragm, a muscle displaying high resistance to stress and exhaustion. We hypothesized that DM modified to overexpress connexin-43 (cx43), seeded on aligned poly (l-la...
