Changes in Membrane Organization upon Spontaneous Insertion of 2‑Hydroxylated Unsaturated Fatty Acids in the Lipid Bilayer
(American Chemical Society, 2014-02-03)
Recent research regarding 2-hydroxylated fatty acids (2OHFAs) showed clear evidence of their benefits in the treatment of cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Monolayer ...
Social Equity Matters in Payments for Ecosystem Services
(Oxford University Press, 2014-09-30)
Although conservation efforts have sometimes succeeded in meeting environmental goals at the expense of equity considerations, the changing context of conservation and a growing body of evidence increasingly suggest that ...
Study of historical developments in the use of fire resistant steels
(Taylor&Francis, 2014-10-29)
This paper presents a review of the most relevant articles on fire-resistant (FR) steels, as part of a research project at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) on the FR properties of steelstructures. An important ...
Noncoding RNA-related polymorphisms in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia susceptibility
(Springer, 2014-03-11)
Background: Evidence for an inherited genetic risk for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia has been provided in several studies. Most of them focused on coding regions. However, those regions represent only 1.5% of the ...
Errors in the interpretation of copy number variations due to the use of public databases as a reference
(Elsevier, 2014-03-14)
The identification of new cryptic deletions and duplications can be used to improve prognostic classification in cancer. To obtain accurate results, it is necessary to discriminate between somatic alterations in the tumor ...
Spin Hall magnetoresistance at Pt/CoFe2O4 interfaces and texture effects
(AIP publishing, 2014-10-08)
We report magnetoresistance measurements on thin Pt bars grown on epitaxial (001) and (111) CoFe2O4 (CFO) ferrimagnetic insulating films. The results can be described in terms of the recently discovered spin Hall ...
Sustained increase of PKA activity in the post-commissural putamen of dyskinetic monkeys
(Springer, 2014-04-05)
Levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LID) are a frequent complication of Parkinson's disease pharmacotherapy that causes significant disability and narrows the therapeutic window. Pharmacological management of LID is challenging ...
AC and DC technology in microgrids: a review
(Elsevier, 2014-12-05)
Microgrids are a suitable, reliable and clean solution to integrate distributed generation into the mains grid. Microgrids can present both AC and DC distribution lines. The type of distribution conditions the performance ...
