Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with viral or metabolic liver diseases is a growing cancer without effective therapy. AMPK is downregulated in HCC and its activation diminishes tumor growth. Alpha lipoic acid (...

Some urbanization impacts on biodiversity are often underestimated such as noise pollution generated by anthropogenic activities. Birds inhabiting urban and peri-urban areas suffer anthropogenic noise that impact their c...

Under the "One Health" concept, this paper aims to explore the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in Enterobacterales(i.e., Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica) among the South American Sea Lions on Argentina's ...

Background The myostatin gene has played an important role in the genetic improvement of the main species of economic importance; however, it has not yet been described for some Neotropical fish essential for aquaculture...

This study characterizes wet and dry conditions in southern South America, defined through the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), considering short and long timescales. Prior to analysis, a regio...

Drier conditions have been observed in Northern Patagonia, Argentina, in the last decades, affecting the pastoralism production system. In this context, two laws were promoted to foster goat and sheep production. This re...

Abstract: Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) are being used for reactor neutrino experiments and have already demonstrated their potential in constraining new physics models. The prospect of a Skipper-CCD experiment looking fo...

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a zoonotic pathogen associated with severe disease. Cattle are recog- nized as the primary animal reservoir of STEC. This study reports the occurrence and characterization...

Background and aimsThe ability of plant microbial symbionts to enhance hosts´ fitness depends on the abiotic and biotic context, including the presence of co-existing symbionts. We studied how the presence of arbuscular...

Communicating climate change projections to diverse stakeholders and addressing their concerns is crucial for fostering effective climate adaptation. This paper explores the use of storyline projections as an intermediat...

Most alpine ecosystems are subject to non-native species invasion as climate warms and human disturbance increases. Therefore, it is important to identify the main barriers and facilitators of alpine plant invasions. Whi...

The shape memory effect in Cu–Al–Ni alloys iscaused by martensitic transformations between a metastablematrix (β phase) and one or more martensitic phases. Inthese alloys, when diffusion becomes significant, precipi...

Di-Higgs production at the LHC associated with missing transverse energy is explored in the context of simplified models that generically parameterize a large class of models with heavy scalars and dark matter candidates...

In this article, we review the historiography of Argentine Catholicism for two purposes. Firstly, reflect on some of the devotional models that existed and coexisted throughout the twentieth century: the “integrist,”...

Access to health services is a multidimensional and multistage phenomenon. Despite the extensive development of the theoretical framework of access to health care, until now, no indices have been developed to measure all...

Patagonia offers several examples of local adaptation in the exotic rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Specifically, the Valcheta Stream, characterized by hot spring headwaters and temperate lower reaches, was initially ...

Bovine genital campylobacteriosis, caused by the gram-negative bacteria Campylobacter fetus venerealis, and bovine trichomonosis, caused by the parasite protozoan Tritrichomonas foetus, are venereal diseases that occur w...

Layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly microencapsulation is a promising method to protect and deliver probiotics, although its implementation has mostly been confined to the lab scale. This study develops a scalable method ...

Many cities have promoted decarbonized transportation modes to mitigate climate change, reduce air pollution and promote healthy behaviors. However, cyclists may be particularlyexposed to higher concentrations of on-road...

Aquatic organisms are subject to various forcing factors that affect their structure, some of which are natural, while others result from human activities, both having variable effects. This study aimed to determine the ...

Abstract A macroscopic perspective is indispensable for understanding the intricate relationship between deubiquitinases and tumorigenesis. Proteomics has been proposed as a viable approach for elucidating the complex ro...

Membrane transporters play a central role in protecting the body from xenobiotics (either by preventing their absorption, limiting their distribution, or promoting their elimination). Transporters can also participate in...

Latin American cities are exposed to threats triggered by climate change that generate environmental impacts. In addition, there is evidence of an accelerated process of urbanization which consequences are intensified by...

This chapter reviews information from the 1970s to the present day about zooplankton and ichthyoplankton occurring at the Patagonian shelf-break front (PSBF), aiming to establish a baseline of knowledge for both groups. ...
