Inverting Monotonic Nonlinearities by Entropy Maximization
(Public Library Science, 2016-10-25)
This paper proposes a new method for blind inversion of a monotonic nonlinear map applied to a sum of random variables. Such kinds of mixtures of random variables are found in source separation and Wiener system inversion ...
Unraveling Sugar Binding Modes to DC-SIGN by Employing Fluorinated Carbohydrates
(MDPI, 2019-06-25)
A fluorine nuclear magnetic resonance (F-19-NMR)-based method is employed to assess the binding preferences and interaction details of a library of synthetic fluorinated monosaccharides towards dendritic cell-specific ...
Investigation of hot char catalytic role in the pyrolysis of waste tires in a two-step process
(Elsevier, 2019-12-30)
[EN] This study pursues the valorization of waste tires by pyrolysis using a different approach for tire parts, specifically, the tire tread rubber and side wall rubber. Tire tread rubber was used to produce hot char with ...

USP1 deubiquitinase: cellular functions, regulatory mechanisms and emerging potential as target in cancer therapy
(Biomed Central, 2013)
Reversible protein ubiquitination is emerging as a key process for maintaining cell homeostasis, and the enzymes that participate in this process, in particular E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases (DUBs), are increasingly ...
Structure-function analysis of USP1: insights into the role of Ser313 phosphorylation site and the effect of cancer-associated mutations on autocleavage
(Biomed Central, 2015-02-06)
Background: In complex with its cofactor UAF1, the USP1 deubiquitinase plays an important role in cellular processes related to cancer, including the response to DNA damage. The USP1/UAF1 complex is emerging as a novel ...
Two Nuclear Localization Signals in USP1 Mediate Nuclear Import of the USP1/UAF1 Complex
(Public Library of Science, 2012-06-06)
The human deubiquitinase USP1 plays important roles in cancer-related processes, such as the DNA damage response, and the maintenance of the undifferentiated state of osteosarcoma cells. USP1 deubiquitinase activity is ...
In Vitro Surfactant and Perfluorocarbon Aerosol Deposition in a Neonatal Physical Model of the Upper Conducting Airways
(Public Library Science, 2014-09-11)
Objective: Aerosol delivery holds potential to release surfactant or perfluorocarbon (PFC) to the lungs of neonates with respiratory distress syndrome with minimal airway manipulation. Nevertheless, lung deposition in ...
Improved Mechanical Properties of Compatibilized Polypropylene/Polyamide-12 Blends
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)
Compatibilized blends of polypropylene (PP) and polyamide-12 (PA12) as a second component were obtained by direct injection molding having first added 20% maleic anhydride-modified copolymer (PP-g-MA) to the PP, which ...
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Biomarkers Linked to Lung Metastatic Potential and Cell Stemness
(Public Library Science, 2015-07-07)
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare lung-metastasizing neoplasm caused by the proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells that commonly carry loss-of-function mutations in either the tuberous sclerosis complex 1 or 2 ...
