Genomic analyses reveal FoxG as an upstream regulator of wnt1 required for posterior identity specification in planarians
Embryonic specification of the first body axis requires the formation of an Organizer, a group of cells with the ability to instruct fates in the surrounding tissue. The existence of organizing regions in adults, i.e. ...
R commands secondary production
R commands to calculate the secondary production estimates using the size-frequency method after Hynes and Coleman (1968), Benke (1979) and Huryn (1996).
Assessment of enflicoxib efficacy in the control of postoperative pain and inflammation in dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery. A pilot randomised clinical trial
Postoperative pain is most effectively managed pre-emptively and enflicoxib characteristics make it a good candidate to control it with a single administration. To assess the efficacy of enflicoxib in the control of ...
rbfox1 LoF mutants show disrupted bdnf/trkb2 and crhb/nr3c2 expression and increased cortisol levels during development coupled with signs of allostatic overload in adulthood
Mutations in the RBFOX1 gene are associated with psychiatric disorders but how RBFOX1 influences psychiatric disorder vulnerability remains unclear. Recent studies showed that RBFOX proteins mediate the alternative splicing ...
The Ralstonia solanacearum catalase-peroxidase KatG is crucial to survive environmental stresses and also plays a role in plant infection
Throughout their life cycle, pathogens are challenged by Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and must deploy defence mechanisms against oxidative damage. Environmental stressors such as ultraviolet radiation and desiccation ...
Cal posar límits a la neurotecnologia?
La neurotecnologia, les eines que poden llegir, modular o interpretar l’activitat del nostre cervell, avança a passos accelerats. Però amb aquesta evolució tan ràpida també incrementa el risc d’ingerències no volgudes ni ...
Bressol del nostre futur
La universitat és una de les institucions humanes més extraordinàries, l'objectiu de la qual és la creació, el desenvolupament, la transmissió i la crítica de la cultura, una garantia de llibertat i el bressol del nostre ...
Els bonobos adopten cries orfes per pur altruisme
egons l'Anuari de l'Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, l'any passat hi va haver més d'una cinquantena d'adopcions i més d'un miler d'acolliments d'infants en llars catalanes. Prop del 80% d'adopcions les fan parelles ...
The genetic content of chromosomal inversions across a wide latitudinal gradient
There is increasing evidence regarding the role of chromosomal inversions in relevant biological processes such as local adaptation and speciation. A classic example of the adaptive role of chromosomal polymorphisms is ...
Addició al sol
És l'estiu, i probablement moltes persones passin uns dies a la platja realitzant activitats diverses, entre les quals prendre el sol. A la dècada de 1940 es va iniciar la moda de tenir la pell bronzejada, un senyal que ...
Som cíborgs
Duem ulleres i lentilles per millorar la vista. Recordem gràcies a la memòria del nostre ordinador. Aconseguim viure més per obra i gràcia de vàlvules cardíaques. Podríem dir, doncs, que tots som ja una mica cíborgs?
Role of Aeromonas hydrophila flagella glycosylation in adhesion to Hep-2 cells, biofilm formation and immune stimulation.
Polar flagellin proteins from Aeromonas hydrophila strain AH-3 (serotype O34) were found to be O-glycosylated with a heterogeneous heptasaccharide glycan. Two mutants with altered (light and strong) polar flagella glycosylation ...
Wastewater-based epidemiology applied at the building-level reveals distinct virome profiles based on the age of the contributing individuals
Aquest estudi utilitza la <strong>seqüenciació per enriquiment (TES)</strong> i el <strong>mostreig passiu</strong> per caracteritzar el viroma humà a escala d'edifici, permetent observar com canvien els virus circulants ...
La manera d'explicar una història modela com la recordem
Imagineu que un amic us relata què va fer durant el cap de setmana, o que sou vosaltres qui ho expliqueu a alguna persona o que ho rememoreu per a vosaltres mateixos. Podríem fer-ho descrivint sobretot els detalls sensorials ...
eDiVA - Classification and prioritization of pathogenic variants for clinical diagnostics
Mendelian diseases have shown to be an efficient model for connecting genotypes to phenotypes and for elucidating the function of genes. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) accelerated the study of rare Mendelian diseases in ...
Lack of AtMC1 catalytic activity triggers autoimmunity dependent on NLR stability
Plants utilize cell surface-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors to detect non-self and elicit robust immune responses. Fine-tuning the ...
Así saca la basura el cerebro
Si administrásemos un colorante vital como el azul de Evans a la sangre de una rata o un ratón, pasados unos minutos el animal tendría todos los órganos azulados, cual pitufo sin calzones, con excepción de su cerebro. La ...
The chloroplast genome of the pincushion cactus Mammilllaria haageana subsp. san-angelensis, a Mexican endangered species
The genus Mammillaria occupies diverse habitats and exhibits diverse growth patterns and a large range of morphologies. Most of the species of this genus are used as ornamental plants and are subject to mass habitat loss. ...
Endemic maintenance of human-related hepatitis E virus strains in synurbic wild boars, Barcelona Metropolitan Area, Spain
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), shared by humans, domestic animals, and wildlife, is an emerging global public health threat. Because wild boars are a major reservoir of HEV, the new zoonotic interfaces resulting from wild boar ...
Two-stage case-control association study of dopamine-related genes and migraine
Background We previously reported risk haplotypes for two genes related with serotonin and dopamine metabolism: MAOA in migraine without aura and DDC in migraine with aura. Herein we investigate the contribution to migraine ...
