Current Techniques for Investigating the Brain Extracellular Space
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-14)
The brain extracellular space (ECS) is a continuous reticular compartment that lies between the cells of the brain. It is vast in extent relative to its resident cells, yet, at the same time the nano- to micrometer dimensions ...
Super-Resolution Microscopy Using a Bioorthogonal-Based Cholesterol Probe Provides Unprecedented Capabilities for Imaging Nanoscale Lipid Heterogeneity in Living Cells
(Wiley, 2021-09)
Despite more than 20 years of work since the lipid raft concept was proposed, the existence of these nanostructures remains highly controversial due to the lack of noninvasive methods to investigate their native nanorganization ...
Shortcuts to adiabatic rotation of a two-ion chain
(IOP, 2021-10)
We inverse engineer fast rotations of a transversally tight, linear trap with two ions for a predetermined rotation angle and time, avoiding final excitation. Different approaches are analyzed and compared when the ions ...
Using a Simple Cellular Assay to Map NES Motifs in Cancer-Related Proteins, Gain Insight into CRM1-Mediated NES Export, and Search for NES-Harboring Micropeptides
(MDPI, 2020-09-01)
The nuclear export receptor CRM1 (XPO1) recognizes and binds specific sequence motifs termed nuclear export signals (NESs) in cargo proteins. About 200 NES motifs have been identified, but over a thousand human proteins ...
Degradability of Polyurethanes and Their Blends with Polylactide, Chitosan and Starch
(MDPI, 2021-04-08)
One of the methods of making traditional polymers more environmentally friendly is to modify them with natural materials or their biodegradable, synthetic equivalents. It was assumed that blends with polylactide (PLA), ...
Morphology, Thermo-Mechanical Properties and Biodegradibility of PCL/PLA Blends Reactively Compatibilized by Different Organic Peroxides
(MDPI, 2021-07-28)
Reactive blending is a promising approach for the sustainable development of bio-based polymer blends and composites, which currently is gaining more and more attention. In this paper, biodegradable blends based on ...
Implication of m6A mRNA Methylation in Susceptibility to Inflammatory Bowel Disease
(MDPI, 2020-08-03)
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract that develops due to the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. More than 160 loci have been associated ...
Learning Optimal Time Series Combination and Pre-Processing by Smart Joins
(MDPI, 2020-09-11)
In industrial applications of data science and machine learning, most of the steps of a typical pipeline focus on optimizing measures of model fitness to the available data. Data preprocessing, instead, is often ad-hoc, ...
Analysis of the interaction between elderly people and a simulated virtual coach
(Springer, 2020-12)
The EMPATHIC project develops and validates new interaction paradigms for personalized virtual coaches (VC) to promote healthy and independent aging. To this end, the work presented in this paper is aimed to analyze the ...
Creating a Green Chemistry Lab: Towards Sustainable Resource Management and Responsible Purchasing
(MDPI, 2020-10-27)
The main goal of this project was to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the chemistry teaching laboratories of the Faculty of Engineering Vitoria-Gasteiz (University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)). With this ...
