Mono and Di-Fucosylated Glycans of the Parasitic Worm S. Mansoniare Recognized Differently by the Innate Immune Receptor DC-SIGN
(Wiley, 2020-12-01)The parasitic worm,Schistosoma mansoni, expresses unusual fucosylated glycans in a stage-dependent manner that can be recognized by the human innate immune receptor DC-SIGN, thereby shaping host immune responses. We have ... -
Monodisperse N‐Doped Graphene Nanoribbons Reaching 7.7 Nanometers in Length
(Wiley VCH, 2018-01-15)The properties of graphene nanoribbons are highly dependent on structural variables such as width, length, edge structure, and heteroatom doping. Therefore, atomic precision over all these variables is necessary for ... -
Motivational crowding effects in payments for ecosystem services: Exploring the role of instrumental and relational values
(People and Nature, 2022-04-01)Nature is perceived and valued in many different ways. Often, the types of values that are the most important to people depend on how they cognitively frame desirable human–nature relations. For instance, the value of ... -
Multiflat Bands and Strong Correlations in Twisted Bilayer BoronNitride: Doping-Induced Correlated Insulator and Superconductor
(American Chemical Society, 2019-08)Two-dimensional materials, obtained by van der Waals stacking of layers, are fascinating objects of contemporary condensed matter research, exhibiting a variety of new physics. Inspired by the breakthroughs of twisted ... -
Multilevel responses of adult zebrafish to crude and chemically dispersed oil exposure
(Elsevier, 2021-12)Background The application of chemical dispersants is a common remediation strategy when accidental oil spills occur in aquatic environments. Breaking down the oil slick into small droplets, dispersants facilitate the ... -
Multimodal feature evaluation and fusion for emotional well-being monitorization
(Springer, 2022-04-26)Mental health is a global issue that plays an important roll in the overall well-being of a person. Because of this, it is important to preserve it, and conversational systems have proven to be helpful in this task. This ... -
Multiple Sensor Monitoring of CFRP Drilling to Define Cutting Parameters Sensitivity on Surface Roughness, Cylindricity and Diameter
(MDPI, 2020-06-21)Machining parameters affects the final quality of components made in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials. In this framework, the work here presented aims at studying the right combination of cutting ... -
Multiple SNP Markers Reveal Fine-Scale Population and Deep Phylogeographic Structure in European Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus L.)
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07-30)Geographic surveys of allozymes, microsatellites, nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have detected several genetic subdivisions among European anchovy populations. However, these studies have been limited in ... -
Multiplex SERS Detection of Metabolic Alterations in Tumor Extracellular Media
(Wiley, 2020-04)The composition and intercellular interactions of tumor cells in the tissues dictate the biochemical and metabolic properties of the tumor microenvironment. The metabolic rewiring has a profound impact on the properties ... -
Multivalency Transforms SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies Into Ultrapotent Neutralizers
(Nature, 2021-06-16)SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, has caused a global pandemic. Antibodies can be powerful biotherapeutics to fight viral infections. Here, we use the human apoferritin protomer as a modular subunit to drive ... -
Mutations in LRRK2 impair NF-κB pathway in iPSC-derived neurons
(Biomed Central, 2016-11-18)Background: Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) contribute to both familial and idiopathic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Neuroinflammation is a key event in neurodegeneration and aging, and there is ... -
