(Universidad de Valencia. Publicaciones, 2016-12-19)
This article analyzes (and argues) the American legal scholar Martha A. Fineman's thesis about vulnerability. It is divided into five sections in which Fineman's paradigm is successively contextualized, projected to the ...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Subtypes. Transitions over Time
(Public Library Science, 2016-09-09)
Background
Although subtypes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are recognized, it is unknown what happens to these subtypes over time. Our objectives were to assess the stability of cluster-based subtypes in ...
Evaluation of 10 AMD Associated Polymorphisms as a Cause of Choroidal Neovascularization in Highly Myopic Eyes
(Public Library Science, 2016-09-19)
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) commonly occurs in age related macular degeneration and pathological myopia patients. In this study we conducted a case-control prospective study including 431 participants. The aim of ...
Histone deacetylase inhibitors induce invasion of human melanoma cells in vitro via differential regulation of N-cadherin expression and RhoA activity
(Biomed Central, 2016-08-22)
Background: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) exert multiple cytotoxic actions on cancer cells. Currently, different synthetic HDACi are in clinical use or clinical trials; nevertheless, since both pro-invasive and ...

Background: Diabetes is one of the leading non-communicable diseases in Africa, contributing to the increasing disease burden among the old adults. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and determinants ...
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 ...
High Expression of Endogenous Retroviral Envelope Gene in the Equine Fetal Part of the Placenta
(Public Library Science, 2016-05-13)
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are proviral phases of exogenous retroviruses that have co-evolved with vertebrate genomes for millions of years. Previous studies have identified the envelope (env) protein genes of retroviral ...
