Accumulated Bending Energy Elicits Neutral Sphingomyelinase Activity in Human Red Blood Cells
(Elservier, 2012-05-02)
[EN] We propose that accumulated membrane bending energy elicits a neutral sphingomyelinase (SMase) activity in human erythrocytes. Membrane bending was achieved by osmotic or chemical processes, and SMase activity was ...
The IHG index for hydromorphological quality assessment of rivers and streams: updated version
(AIL, 2011)
[EN]An updated version of the IHG index is presented. The index is based on three appraisal parameters: 1) the functional quality of the fluvial system, including a) flow regime naturalness, b) sediment supply and mobility, ...
Size-effect and scaling power-law for superelasticity in Shape Memory Alloys at the nano-scale
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature., 2017-05-29)
Shape-memory alloys capable of a superelastic stress-induced phase transformation and a high displacement actuation have promise for applications in micro-electromechanical systems for wearable healthcare and flexible ...
The effect of hydroxylated fatty acid-containing phospholipids in the remodeling of lipid membranes
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-01-24)
The synthetic fatty acid 2-hydroxyoleic acid (2OHOA) is an antitumor drug that regulates membrane lipid composition and structure. An important effect of this drug is the restoration of sphingomyelin (SM) levels in cancer ...
¿Sirvienta, interina o trabajadora? Discursos del Servicio Doméstico en el Segundo Franquismo
(Euskal Herriko Univertsitatea & Valentín de Foronda, 2012)
A finales de los cincuenta en España existía un gran debate sobre el futuro del servicio doméstico y los cambios que se estaban produciendo en él. El servicio doméstico era un sector en el que se podían percibir modificaciones ...
Conformational stabilization as a strategy to prevent nucleophosmin mislocalization in leukemia
(Nature Research, 2017-10-24)
Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a nucleolar protein involved in ribosome assembly and cell homeostasis. Mutations in the C-terminal domain of NPM that impair native folding and localization are associated with acute myeloid leukemia ...
Sobre las precipitaciones de octubre de 2012 en el Pirineo Aragonés, su respuesta hidrológica y la gestión de riesgos
(Universidad de Zaragoza, 2012)
[ES]Intensas precipitaciones en los días 19 y 20 de octubre de2012 generaron crecidas en toda la red fluvial de los afluentes pirenaicos de la cuenca del Ebro. Se presentan brevemente los registros de precipitación alcanzados, ...
Partitioning of liquid-ordered/liquid-disordered membrane microdomains induced by the fluidifying effect of 2-hydroxylated fatty acid derivatives
(2013-06-18)
[EN] Cellular functions are usually associated with the activity of proteins and nucleic acids. Recent studies have shown that lipids modulate the localization and activity of key membrane-associated signal transduction ...
Shortcuts to adiabaticity in optical waveguides using fast quasiadiabatic dynamics
(Optica Publishing Group, 2017-01-03)
We propose a fast quasiadiabatic approach to the design of optical waveguide devices. This approach distributes the system adiabaticity homogeneously over the device length, thus providing a shortcut to adiabaticity at a ...
Human ATG3 binding to lipid bilayers: role of lipid geometry, and electric charge
(Nature Publishing, 2017-11-15)
Specific protein-lipid interactions lead to a gradual recruitment of AuTophaGy-related (ATG) proteins to the nascent membrane during autophagosome (AP) formation. ATG3, a key protein in the movement of LC3 towards the ...
