Differential profile of protein expression on human keratocytes treated with autologous serum and plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF)
(Public Library Science, 2018-10-12)
Purpose
The main objective of this study is to compare the protein expression of human keratocytes treated with Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) or autologous serum (AS) and previously induced to myofibroblast by ...
Preparation and Characterization of Resveratrol Loaded Pectin/Alginate Blend Gastro-Resistant Microparticles
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Background: The use of resveratrol as a dietary supplement is limited because it is easily oxidized and, after oral ingestion, it is metabolized into enterocytes and hepatocytes. Thus, new formulations are needed in order ...
Comparison of Flank Super Abrasive Machining vs. Flank Milling on Inconel® 718 Surfaces
(MDPI, 2018-09)
Thermoresistant superalloys present many challenges in terms of machinability, which leads to finding new alternatives to conventional manufacturing processes. In order to face this issue, super abrasive machining (SAM) ...
A Middle Palaeolithic wooden digging stick from Aranbaltza III, Spain
(Public Library of Science, 2018-03-28)
Aranbaltza is an archaeological complex formed by at least three open-air sites. Between 2014 and 2015 a test excavation carried out in Aranbaltza I I I revealed the presence of a sand and clay sedimentary sequence formed ...
GAT-3 Dysfunction Generates Tonic Inhibition in Exter nal Globus Pallidus Neurons in Parkinsonian Rodents
(Cell Press, 2018-05-08)
The external globus pallidus (GP) is a key GABAergic hub in the basal ganglia (BG) circuitry, a neuronal network involved in motor control. In Parkinson's disease (PD), the rate and pattern of activity of GP neurons are ...
Three-Dimensional Conductive Scaffolds as Neural Prostheses Based on Carbon Nanotubes and Polypyrrole
(ACS Publications, 2018-12-19)
Three-dimensional scaffolds for cellular organization need to enjoy a series of specific properties. On the one hand, the morphology, shape and porosity are critical parameters and eventually related with the mechanical ...
A Generic Multi-Layer Architecture Based on ROS-JADE Integration for Autonomous Transport Vehicles
(MDPI, 2018-12-25)
The design and operation of manufacturing systems is evolving to adapt to different challenges. One of the most important is the reconfiguration of the manufacturing process in response to context changes (e.g., faulty ...
A Thiadiazole-capped Nanoribbon with 18 Linearly-Fused Rings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-06-28)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that extend over 2 nm in one dimension are seen as monodisperse graphene nanoribbons, which have attracted significant attention for a broad range of applications in organic electronics and ...
Replacement of Cysteine at Position 46 in the First Cysteine-Rich Repeat of the LDL Receptor
(Public Library Science, 2018-10-17)
Background and aims
Pathogenic mutations in the Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor gene (LDLR) cause Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH), one of the most common genetic disorders with a prevalence as high as 1 in 200 in ...
Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy type 1 caused by transthyretin mutation Val50Met (Val30Met): 4 cases in a non-endemic area
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Introduction: Transthyretin-related familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) typically arises as an autonomic neuropathy primarily affecting small fibres and it occurs in adult patients in their second or third decades ...
