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...

Cell proliferation is an important determinant of plant form, but little is known about how developmental programs control cell division. Here, we describe the role of microRNA miR396 in the coordination of cell prolifer...

El presente artículo analiza la evolución del deber de memoria en el sistema interamericano de derechos humanos y su transformación en una exigencia jurídica derivada del derecho a la verdad. Aunque la Convención Am...

We present a study of the microscopic dynamics of water trapped in reverse non-ionic micelles by means of a series of molecular dynamics simulations. The analysis of the effects of micellar confinement on spectroscopical...

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...

Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L) moench] exhibits intraspecificvariability for the rate of dormancy release and pre-harvest sprouting behavior. Two inbred lines with contrasting sprouting response were compared: IS9530...

ZnO nanorods (NRs) were grown on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates at low temperatures (90 °C) from Zn2+ precursors in alkaline media previously seeded with ZnO nanoparticles. These were deposited onto the FTO s...

This study tries to elucidate the mechanisms by which fructose rich diets (FRD) inhibit the rat intestinal Ca2+ absorption, and determine if any or all underlying alterations are prevented by naringin (NAR). Male rats we...

The use of solid fermentation substrate (SSF) has been appreciated by the demand for natural and healthy products. Lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria play a leading role in the production of novel functional foods ...

T47D and IBH6 cells that overexpress RUNX2 show high levels of FGFR2 and FGF2, supporting the hypothesis that FGF2 increases RUNX2 and, in turn, RUNX2 increases FGF2, maintaining a positive loop. However, in these models...

In the present work we investigated the importance of the Raf/MEK/ERK signalling pathway in the multiplication of the arenavirus Junı´n (JUNV) in monkey and human cell cultures. We established that JUNV induces a bipha...

Apple chicha is a fresh low alcoholic beverage elaborated by aboriginal communities of Andean Patagonia (Argentina and Chile). In the present work, we identified the yeast microbiota associated with this fermentation, an...

Wet-mixing processes can be tuned to reduce energy consumption, although impacts on quality and stability should be addressed. This work evaluated the effect of wet-mix processing (total solids, TS: 50 or 60%; heat treat...

La Alianza de Civilizaciones fue una iniciativa del Presidente de Gobierno José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero ante la LIX Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas en 2005. Otros Estados como Turquía se han sumado a esta iniciati...

Avaliou-se a distribuição de Lawsonia intracellularis em fezes de suínos, coletadas diretamente no reto, durante a fase de crescimento/terminação, sob condições de campo, e determinou-se o efeito da infecção L. ...

Background: Although assessment of pre and posttransplant quality of life is a current scientific target; it has not yet been carried out throughout the entire transplant process. Aims: 1) To analyze differences in menta...

We present a systematic investigation of the optical response to circularly polarized illumination in twisted stacked plasmonic nanostructures. The system consists in two identical, parallel gold triskelia, centrally ali...

Abstract Addictive behaviors are not limited to drugs use, but also include certain daily behaviors that can cause gratification. Their progression to more severe pathological patterns entails grave consequences for the ...

Se presenta un modelo de ahusamiento para Eucalyptus nitens (Deane & Maiden) Maiden. Este es un modelo no lineal que fue ajustado con datos de 60 árboles con edades entre los 16 y 21 años, diámetros normales entre 1...

ABSTRACT The objective of the present work was to identify and validate single nucleotide variations located in candidate genes to growth traits in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Two transitions were identified in the ...

The main objective of this research work is to develop a new low-cost isolated three-level ac-dc power converter topology with a reduced number of switches. Existing three-level converter topologies change ac power to dc...

In human populations various flexible, labile and interdependent structures (genetic, demographic, socioeconomic) co-exist, each of which can be organized in an hierarchical order corresponding to administrative entities...

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...

Recent studies from our laboratory provided evidence that part of the carcinogenic effects of ethanol consumption might be related to its in situ metabolism at cytosolic and microsomal levels, to the mutagen acetaldehyde...
