LncRNA ARGI Contributes to Virus-Induced Pancreatic β Cell Inflammation Through Transcriptional Activation of IFN-Stimulated Genes
(Wiley, 2023-09)
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex autoimmune disease that develops in genetically susceptible individuals. Most T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are located in non-coding regions of the human genome. ...
Predictive Modeling and Structure Analysis of Genetic Variants in Familial Hypercholesterolemia: Implications for Diagnosis and Protein Interaction Studies
(Springer Nature, 2023-10)
Purpose of Review Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a hereditary condition characterized by elevated levels of low-
density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease if left ...
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 ...
Improving the mechanical and biological functions of cell sheet constructs: The interplay of human-derived periodontal ligament stem cells, endothelial cells and plasma rich in growth factors
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
Objective
The aim of this study was to produce and characterize triple-layered cell sheet constructs with varying cell compositions combined or not with the fibrin membrane scaffold obtained by the technology of Plasma ...
On the antimicrobial properties and endurance of eugenol and 2-phenylphenol functionalized sol-gel coatings
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Preventing microbiological surface contamination in public spaces is nowadays of high priority. The proliferation of a microbial infection may arise through air, water, or direct contact with infected surfaces. Chemical ...
MLb-LDLr: A Machine Learning Model for Predicting the Pathogenicity of LDLr Missense Variants
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Untreated familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) leads to atherosclerosis and early cardiovascular disease. Mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) gene constitute the major cause of FH, and the high number ...
Enhanced phytoremediation of metal contaminated soils aimed at decreasing the risk of antibiotic resistance dissemination
(Frontiers Media, 2024)
The enhanced phytoremediation of metal contaminated soils holds great
promise for the recovery of soil health and functionality, while providing a
range of co-benefits, from an environmental and human health perspectiv ...
OptiMo-LDLr: an integrated In silico model with enhanced predictive power for LDL receptor variants, unraveling hot spot pathogenic residues
(Wiley, 2024-04)
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited metabolic disease affecting cholesterol metabolism, with 90% of cases caused by mutations in the LDL receptor gene (LDLR), primarily missense mutations. This study aims ...
Relationship between the dynamics of volatile aroma compounds and microbial succession during the ripening of raw ewe milk-derived Idiazabal cheese
(Elsevier, 2023)
Cheese microbiota contributes to various biochemical processes that lead to the formation of volatile compounds and the development of flavour during ripening. Nonetheless, the role of these microorganisms in volatile aroma ...
Regulation of cell growth, survival and migration by ceramide 1-phosphate - implications in lung cancer progression and inflammation
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid that is implicated in the regulation of vital cellular functions and plays key roles in a number of inflammation-associated pathologies. C1P was first described as ...
