Composition and conservation of the mRNA-degrading machinery in bacteria
(BioMed Central, 2011)
RNA synthesis and decay counteract each other and therefore inversely regulate gene expression in pro- and eukaryotic cells by controlling the steady-state level of individual transcripts. Genetic and biochemical data ...
Impaired dermal wound healing in discoidin domain receptor 2-deficient mice associated with defective extracellular matrix remodeling
(BioMed Central, 2011)
Background
The wounding response relies on tightly regulated crosstalk between recruited fibroblasts and the collagenous extracellular matrix (ECM). Discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2) is a tyrosine kinase receptor for ...
Variability of indication criteria in knee and hip replacement: an observational study
(BioMed Central, 2010)
Background
Total knee (TKR) and hip (THR) replacement (arthroplasty) are effective surgical procedures that relieve pain, improve patients' quality of life and increase functional capacity. Studies on variations in medical ...
Noisy-threshold control of cell death
(BioMed Central, 2010)
Background
Cellular responses to death-promoting stimuli typically proceed through a differentiated multistage process, involving a lag phase, extensive death, and potential adaptation. Deregulation of this chain of events ...
Isolation of mineralizing Nestin+ Nkx6.1+ vascular muscular cells from the adult human spinal cord
(BioMed Central, 2011-10-10)
Background: The adult central nervous system (CNS) contains different populations of immature cells that could possibly be used to repair brain and spinal cord lesions. The diversity and the properties of these cells in ...
The Oxidative State of Chylomicron Remnants Influences Their Modulation of Human Monocyte Activation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
Chylomicron remnants (CMRs) contribute directly to human monocyte activation in vitro, by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cell migration. In this study, the effects of the oxidative state of CMR on ...
Detección del movimiento cíclico estacional en edificios históricos por métodos topográficos
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2011-03)
[ES] Al igual que el resto de estructuras de ingeniería, los edificios históricos están sometidos a las variaciones de las condiciones atmosféricas que afectan a sus dimensiones. Estos efectos son de carácter cíclico y no ...
Evaluation of wheat or corn dried distillers' grains with solubles on performance and carcass characteristics of feedlot steers
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2010-06)
[EN]A study was conducted on crossbred steers (n=275; 376±924 kg) to evaluate performance and carcass quality of cattle fed wheat or corn dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS). The control ration contained 86.6% ...
Dietary vitamin E inhibits the trans 10-18:1 shift in beef backfat
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2010-03)
[EN]Forty feedlot steers were fed a barleygrain-based finishing diet typical for western Canada, with two levels of supplementary vitamin E (468 or 1068 IU head_1 d_1) and the effect on backfat trans-18:1 isomeric profile ...
