Age, Origin and Functional Study of the Prevalent LDLR Mutation Causing Familial Hypercholesterolaemia in Gran Canaria
(MDPI, 2023-07-11)The p.(Tyr400_Phe402del) mutation in the LDL receptor (LDLR) gene is the most frequent cause of familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) in Gran Canaria. The aim of this study was to determine the age and origin of this prevalent ... -
Agricultural Soils Amended with Thermally-Dried Anaerobically-Digested Sewage Sludge Showed Increased Risk of Antibiotic Resistance Dissemination
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-28)The application of sewage sludge (SS) to agricultural soil can help meet crop nutrient requirements and enhance soil properties, while reusing an organic by-product. However, SS can be a source of antibiotic resistance ... -
Allosteric control of dynamin-related protein 1 through a disordered C-terminal Short Linear Motif
(Nature, 2024-01)The mechanochemical GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) catalyzes mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission, but the regulatory mechanisms remain ambiguous. Here we find that a conserved, intrinsically disordered, six-residue ... -
An atlas of O-linked glycosylation on peptide hormones reveals diverse biological roles
(Nature, 2020-08-20)Peptide hormones and neuropeptides encompass a large class of bioactive peptides that regulate physiological processes like anxiety, blood glucose, appetite, inflammation and blood pressure. Here, we execute a focused ... -
An E2F7-Dependent Transcriptional Program Modulates DNA Damage Repair And Genomic Stability
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05-18)The cellular response to DNA damage is essential for maintaining the integrity of the genome. Recent evidence has identified E2F7 as a key player in DNA damage-dependent transcriptional regulation of cell-cycle genes. ... -
An Epilepsy-Causing Mutation Leads to Co-Translational Misfolding of the Kv7.2 Channel
(Springer, 2021-05-21)BACKGROUND: The amino acid sequence of proteins generally carries all the necessary information for acquisition of native conformations, but the vectorial nature of translation can additionally determine the folding outcome. ... -
Analysis of SUMOylated proteins using SUMO-traps
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-04-22)SUMO-modified proteins are recognized by SUMO interacting motifs (SIMs), thus triggering diverse cellular responses. Here SIMs were used to develop SUMO-traps to capture endogenous SUMOylated proteins. Our results show ... -
Analysis on the Characterization of Multiphoton Microscopy Images for Malignant Neoplastic Colon Lesion Detection under Deep Learning Methods
(Wolters Kluwer, 2021-06-21)Background: Colorectal cancer has a high incidence rate worldwide, with over 1.8 million new cases and 880,792 deaths in 2018. Fortunately, its early detection significantly increases the survival rate, reaching a cure ... -
Antibiotic Resistance in Agricultural Soil and Crops Associated to the Application of Cow Manure-Derived Amendments from Conventional and Organic Livestock Farms
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-23)he application of organic amendments to agricultural soil can enhance crop yield, while improving the physicochemical and biological properties of the recipient soils. However, the use of manure-derived amendments as ... -
Antibiotics in Dairy Production: Where Is the Problem?
(MDPI, 2022-08-01)Antibiotics have long been used for the prevention and treatment of common diseases and for prophylactic purposes in dairy animals. However, in recent decades it has become a matter of concern due to the widespread belief ... -
Apaf-1 Inhibitors Protect from Unwanted Cell Death in In Vivo Models of Kidney Ischemia and Chemotherapy Induced Ototoxicity
(Public Library Science, 2014-10-20)Background: Excessive apoptosis induces unwanted cell death and promotes pathological conditions. Drug discovery efforts aimed at decreasing apoptotic damage initially targeted the inhibition of effector caspases. Although ... -
Application of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles to Improve the Efficiency of Anticancer Drugs
(MDPI, 2019-03-22)Drug delivery systems have opened new avenues to improve the therapeutic effects of already-efficient molecules. Particularly, Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) have emerged as promising nanocarriers in cancer therapy. SLNs ... -
Arachidyl Amido Cholanoic Acid Improves Liver Glucose and Lipid Homeostasis in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Via AMPK and mTOR Regulation
(Baishideng, 2020-09-14)BACKGROUND Arachidyl amido cholanoic acid (Aramchol) is a potent downregulator of hepatic stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) protein expression that reduces liver triglycerides and fibrosis in animal models of steatohepatitis. ... -
Ascertaining the initiation of epidemic resurgences: an application to the COVID-19 second surges in Europe and the Northeast United States
(The Royal Society, 2021-10-06)[EN]Assessing a potential resurgence of an epidemic outbreak with certainty is as important as it is challenging. The low number of infectious individuals after a long regression, and the randomness associated with it, ... -
