Baseline tissue levels of trace metals and metalloids to approach ecological threshold concentrations in aquatic macroinvertebrates
(Elsevier, 2018-04-24)
Within the framework of the European Environmental Quality Standards Directive, the biota was recognized as a suitable matrix for monitoring water quality. In the Nalón River basin (North Spain), a catchment subject to ...
Therapeutic role of voltage-gated potassium channels in age-related neurodegenerative diseases
(Frontiers Media, 2024-05)
Voltage-gated ion channels are essential for membrane potential maintenance, homeostasis, electrical signal production and controlling the Ca2+ flow through the membrane. Among all ion channels, the key regulators of ...
Bioaccumulation and chronic toxicity of arsenic and zinc in the aquatic oligochaetes Branchiura sowerbyi and Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Clitellata)
(Elsevier, 2021-08-28)
Oligochaetes feed on bulk sediment and penetrate the sediment through the construction of burrows, making them especially vulnerable to sediment metal contamination. However, the few oligochaete species that have been ...
Derivation of sediment Hg quality standards based on ecological assessment in river basins
(Elsevier, 2018-11-28)
The Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) directive was an important improvement of long-term water quality monitoring at the European level, leading to the use of sediments and biota as relevant matrices for assessing ...
Association between lifestyle features and obesity phenotypes in adults from the Basque Country (Spain)
(Schweizerbart Science Publishers, 2023-06-19)
Lifestyle is related to the risk of obesity, but the relationship between different lifestyle features and obesity
phenotypes remains unclear. This study analysed the association between different lifestyle features (eating ...
Sensitivity of macroinvertebrate indicator taxa to metal gradients in mining areas in Northern Spain
(Elsevier, 2018-04-24)
The study of macroinvertebrate communities using a Reference Condition Approach (RCA) is a powerful tool for detecting the impacts of mining activities due to heavy metal contamination in rivers. However, studies on this ...
Development, Characterization and In Vitro Gastrointestinal Release of PLGA Nanoparticles Loaded with Full-Spectrum Cannabis Extracts
(Springer Nature, 2024-05)
Cannabinoids, such as ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), are effective bioactive compounds that improve the quality of life of patients with certain chronic conditions. The copolymer poly(lactic-co-glycolic ...
Whole-brain multivariate hemodynamic deconvolution for functional MRI with stability selection
(ELSEVIER, 2024)
Conventionally, analysis of functional MRI (fMRI) data relies on available information about the experimental paradigm to establish hypothesized models of brain activity. However, this information can be inaccurate, ...
Quantum simulation of two-dimensional electronic lattices.
(2024-03-07)
En esta tesis se aborda la simulación cuántica de redes electrónicas bidimensionales a través de la plataforma de moléculas de CO sobre un substrato de cobre Cu(111). En primer lugar, se introducen la metodología común ...
Development of novel F KBP12 ligands as t herapeutic candidates for D uchenne and B ecker muscular dystrophies.
(2024-03-07)
DMD is an inherited X-linked disorder caused by the absence of dystrophin protein. Post-translational modifications guided by oxidative stress in RyRs result in the dissociation of FKBP proteins from the complex, causing ...
