Characterization, Stability, and Bioaccessibility of Betalain and Phenolic Compounds from Opuntia stricta var. Dillenii Fruits and Products of Their Industrialization
(MDPI, 2021-07-09)
The aim of the present study was the full characterization, quantification, and determination of the digestive stability and bioaccessibility of individual betalain and phenolic compounds of Opuntia stricta, var. Dillenii ...
Contextualization of the Bioeconomy Concept through Its Links with Related Concepts and the Challenges Facing Humanity
(MDPI, 2021-07-12)
The concept of bioeconomy is a topic of debate, confusion, skepticism, and criticism. Paradoxically, this is not necessarily a negative thing as it is encouraging a fruitful exchange of information, ideas, knowledge, and ...
Genotyping-by-sequencing resolves relationships in Polygonaceae tribe Eriogoneae
(Wiley, 2021-08)
The resolution of cryptic diversity is essential for understanding the evolutionary diversification of lineages and establishing conservation priorities. We examine relationships in Eriogoneae (Polygonaceae), a diverse ...
Crowding Effects on the Structure and Dynamics of the Intrinsically Disordered Nuclear Chromatin Protein NUPR1
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-05)
The intracellular environment is crowded with macromolecules, including sugars, proteins and nucleic acids. In the cytoplasm, crowding effects are capable of excluding up to 40% of the volume available to any macromolecule ...
Phase transitions of alkaline-earth metal sulfides under pressure
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2021-06-21)
[EN] Wehave systematically explored the crystal structures of alkaline-earth metal sulfides under pressure
by using a swarm-intelligence structural prediction method. At low pressures we successfully
reproduced their ...
An atlas of O-linked glycosylation on peptide hormones reveals diverse biological roles
(Nature, 2020-08-20)
Peptide hormones and neuropeptides encompass a large class of bioactive peptides that regulate physiological processes like anxiety, blood glucose, appetite, inflammation and blood pressure. Here, we execute a focused ...
Auditory Selective Adaptation Moment by Moment, at Multiple Timescales
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2021)
Over the course of a lifetime, adults develop perceptual categories for the vowels and consonants in
their native language, based on the distribution of those sounds in their environment. However, in any
given listening ...
Reproducibility Study of Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dipping in Patients with High Cardiovascular Risk
(Wiley, 2021-05)
It has been shown that in most people there is a physiological reduction in blood pressure during nighttime sleep, it falling by approximately 10% compared to daytime values (dippers). On the other hand, in some people, ...
Effect of Bacterial Nanocellulose Binding on the Bactericidal Activity of Bovine Lactoferrin
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
Bovine lactoferrin (bLF) has been extensively described as a wide spectrum antimicrobial protein. bLF bactericidal activity has been mainly attributed to two different mechanisms: environmental iron depletion and cell ...
Disruption of Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells is an Early Sign of Pathology in the Triple Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
There is increasing evidence that myelin disruption is related to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the CNS, myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes, which are generated throughout life by adult oligodendrocyte ...
