Allometric size-scaling of biometric growth parameters and metabolic and excretion rates. A comparative study of intertidal and subtidal populations of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
(Springer, 2016-01-27)
Allometric relationships between biometric parameters (i.e., soft body and shell weights and shell organic content vs. shell length) as well as for routine and standard metabolic and ammonia excretion rates related to flesh ...
Acute toxicity of zinc and arsenic to the warmwater aquatic oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi as compared to its coldwater counterpart Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Clitellata)
(Springer, 2016-07-12)
Purpose This study aimed at evaluating the acute effects of arsenic and zinc to the warmwater aquatic oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi. Relative sensitivity with the coldwater species Tubifex tubifex was compared. Implications ...
A cellular reporter to evaluate CRM1 nuclear export activity: functional analysis of the cancer-related mutant E571K
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2016-12)
The exportin CRM1 binds nuclear export signals (NESs), and mediates active transport of NES-bearing proteins from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Structural and biochemical analyses have uncovered the molecular mechanisms ...
Mutations in the ‘Fingers’ subdomain of the deubiquitinase USP1 modulate its function and activity
(FEBS Press, 2016-01-13)
Ubiquitin-specific protease (USP)1 is a member of the USP family of deubiquitinating enzymes. Efficient USP1 activity requires binding to its cofactor USP1-associated factor 1 (UAF1), and the USP1-UAF1 deubiquitinase complex ...
Genetic variants involved in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Susceptibility
(2016-12-15)
La Leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA) infantil es el cáncer pediátrico más común. El hecho de que se desarrolle a una edad temprana sugiere que para su aparición debe existir un fuerte componente genético. Recientes GWAS ...
Genetic and environmental influences on adult human height across birth cohorts from 1886 to 1994
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2016-12-14)
Human height variation is determined by genetic and environmental factors, but it
remains unclear whether their influences differ across birth-year cohorts. We conducted an
individual-based pooled analysis of 40 twin ...
Genetic and environmental influences on height from infancy to early adulthood: An individualbased pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts
(Nature Research, 2016-06-23)
Height variation is known to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, but a
systematic description of how their influences differ by sex, age and global regions is lacking. We
conducted an individual-based ...
