Novel Variant in the CNNM2 Gene Associated with Dominant Hypomagnesemia
(Public Library Science, 2020-09-30)
The maintenance of magnesium (Mg2+) homeostasis is essential for human life. The Cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS)-pair domain divalent metal cation transport mediators (CNNMs) have been described to be involved in maintaining ...
Potential Usefulness of a Wakame/Carob Functional Snack for the Treatment of Several Aspects of Metabolic Syndrome: From In Vitro to In Vivo Studies
(MDPI, 2018-12-17)
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of functional snacks containing a combination of wakame (W) ...
Characterization of (asymptotically) Kerr–de Sitter-like spacetimes at null infinity*
(IOP Publishing, 2016-08-04)
We investigate solutions(M, g) to Einstein's vacuum field equations with positive cosmological constant. which admit a smooth past null infinity J(-) a la Penrose and a Killing vector field whose associated Mars-Simon ...
Entanglement and extreme spin squeezing of unpolarized states
(IOP Publishing, 2017-01-20)
We present criteria to detect the depth of entanglement in macroscopic ensembles of spin-j particles using the variance and second moments of the collective spin components. The class of states detected goes beyond traditional ...
Poor phenotype-genotype association in a large series of patients with Type III Bartter syndrome
(Public Library Science, 2017-03-13)
Introduction
Type III Bartter syndrome (BS) is an autosomal recessive renal tubule disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the CLCNKB gene, which encodes the chloride channel protein ClC-Kb. In this study, we ...
Variable phenotype in HNF1B mutations: extrarenal manifestations distinguish affected individuals from the population with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract
(Oxford Academic, 2019)
Background: Mutations in hepatocyte nuclear factor 1B (HNF1B) have been associated with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) in humans. Diabetes and other less frequent anomalies have also been ...
A Component-Based Approach for Securing Indoor Home Care Applications
(MDPI, 2017-01)
eHealth systems have adopted recent advances on sensing technologies together with advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) in order to provide people-centered services that improve the quality of life ...
Adenylate Cyclase Toxin Promotes Internalisation of Integrins and Raft Components and Decreases Macrophage Adhesion Capacity
(Public Library of Science, 2011-02-23)
Bordetella pertussis, the bacterium that causes whooping cough, secretes an adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) that must be post-translationally palmitoylated in the bacterium cytosol to be active. The toxin targets phagocytes ...
Reconfigurable Multiprocessor Systems: A Review
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
Modern digital systems demand increasing electronic
resources, so the multiprocessor platforms are a suitable
solution for them. This approach provides better results in terms
of area, speed, and power consumption ...
Virtual Sensor for Kinematic Estimation of Flexible Links in Parallel Robots
(MDPI, 2017-09)
The control of flexible link parallel manipulators is still an open area of research, endpoint trajectory tracking being one of the main challenges in this type of robot. The flexibility and deformations of the limbs make ...
