Els orígens de la tuberculosi
La tuberculosi és una de les primeres malalties infeccioses de la història de la humanitat. Es dedueix del registre fòssil, per les empremtes que deixa en els ossos d"algunes de les persones que l"han patit. Tradicionalment ...
Del píxel a las resonancias visuales: la imagen con voz propia
The objective of our research is to develop a series of computer vision programs to search for analogies in large datasets¿in this case, collections of images of abstract paintings¿ based solely on their visual content ...
Les neurones que augmenten l'afició al risc
Moltes persones se senten atretes pel risc, entès com la possibilitat de prendre decisions sense saber quin serà el resultat final o quin curs d'acció serà més profitós. A nivell cerebral, les situacions de risc activen ...
Transcriptome responses to Ralstonia solanacearum infection in the roots of the wild potato Solanum commersonii
Background: Solanum commersonii is a wild potato species that exhibits high tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses and has been used as a source of genes for introgression into cultivated potato. Among the interesting ...
PDXK mutations cause polyneuropathy responsive to pyridoxal 5'-phosphate supplementation
Objective: To identify disease-causing variants in autosomal recessive axonal polyneuropathy with optic atrophy and provide targeted replacement therapy. Methods: We performed genome-wide sequencing, homozygosity mapping, ...
Cultura o cultures del coneixement
L"avenç cap a una única i homogènia societat del coneixement implicarà una pèrdua irrecuperable de diversitat cultural
Com formem la visió del món: una visió alliberadora des de la neurociència
Vivim en un món complex. Ones electromagnètiques, partícules elementals que es combinen en àtoms que formen les molècules del nostre cos i de tot el que ens envolta, etcètera, conformen allò que en anomenem realitat. Una ...
Wastewater-based epidemiology: global collaborative to maximize contributions in the fight against COVID-19
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel member of the Coronaviridae family, has been identified as the etiologic agent of an ongoing pandemic of severe pneumonia known as COVID-19. To date ...
Exploring the diversity of coronavirus in sewage during COVID-19 pandemic: Don't miss the forest for the trees.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of next generation sequencing (NGS) has proved to be an important tool for the genetic characterization of SARS-CoV-2 from clinical samples. The use of different available NGS ...
Pandemònim viral
Vivim temps incerts. La vida, però, és dinàmica i canviant, i per això el futur sempre serà incert. Una de les funcions del cervell és precisament adquirir coneixements i aprendre de les experiències per intentar anticipar-se ...
La enorme sencillez de las utopías educativas en la etapa 0-6
Cuando diseñamos aprendizajes para niños y niñas en la etapa 0-6, lo hacemos, sin duda, para favorecer al máximo su desarrollo. Nos debatimos entre lo posible y lo que nos gustaría, entre la realidad diaria y la utopía. ...
Combining multi-isotopic and molecular source tracking methods to identify nitrate pollution sources in surface and groundwater
Nitrate (NO3-) pollution adversely impacts surface and groundwater quality. In recent decades, many countries have implemented measures to control and reduce anthropogenic nitrate pollution in water resources. However, to ...
Evaluating restriction enzyme selection for reduced representation sequencing in conservation genomics
Conservation genomic studies in non-model organisms generally rely on reduced representation sequencing techniques based on restriction enzymes to identify population structure as well as candidate loci for local adaptation. ...
Manipular els gens
l'article Por als gens vaig parlar de la iniciativa per declarar Catalunya lliure de transgènics, i vaig dir que els motius que esgrimeixen els promotors no tenen base científica. Aquests motius es poden resumir en tres ...
Món sintètic
Una de les habilitats més valorades en totes les professions intel·lectuals és la capacitat de síntesi, que ens permet combinar en un tot elements separats i que es fa palesa en la major part d'elements de factura humana. ...
Propidium monoazide RTqPCR assays for the assessment of hepatitis A inactivation and for a better estimation of the health risk of contaminated waters.
The waterborne transmission of hepatitis A virus (HAV), the main cause of acute hepatitis, is well documented. Recently, two ISO proposals for sensitive determination of this pathogen by RTqPCR in water and food have been ...
Characterization of alternatively spliced products and tissue-specific isoforms of USP28 and USP25
Background: The ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway is essential for the proteolysis of intracellular proteins and peptides. Deubiquitinating enzymes constitute a complex protein family involved in a multitude ...
La ciència, joc de nens
Si els nens petits tenen aquesta capacitat innata, cal evitar que la perdin, treballant-la i educant-la
Modelling the seasonal impacts of a wastewater treatment plant on water quality in a Mediterranean stream using microbial indicators
Faecal pollution modelling is a valuable tool to evaluate and improve water management strategies, especially in a context of water scarcity. The reduction dynamics of five faecal indicator organisms (E. coli, spores of ...
Fifteen years of enzyme replacement therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome): a case report
Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis VI, or Maroteaux-Lamy disease, is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by defciency of the enzyme arylsulfatase B in the lysosomal catabolism of glycosaminoglycans. Due to reduced ...
