Local renin angiotensin system and sperm DNA fragmentation.
(Wolters Kluwer, 2022)
[EN] The renin angiotensin system (RAS) appears to influence male fertility at multiple levels. In this work, we analyzed the relationship between the RAS and DNA integrity. Fifty male volunteers were divided into two ...
Differential Distribution of RBPMS in Pig, Rat, and Human Retina after Damage
(MDPI, 2020-12-07)
RNA binding protein with multiple splicing (RBPMS) is expressed exclusively in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the retina and can label all RGCs in normal retinas of mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, and monkeys, ...
Associative Conditioning Is a Robust Systemic Behavior in Unicellular Organisms: An Interspecies Comparison
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-19)
The capacity to learn new efficient systemic behavior is a fundamental issue of contemporary biology. We have recently observed, in a preliminary analysis, the emergence of conditioned behavior in some individual amoebae ...
Development of a cartilage tissue engineering construct based on hASCs spheroids differentiated under hypoxia in a chitosan/chitin nanocrystals 3D scaffold.
(2019-01-14)
The generation of a cartilage tissue engineering (TE) construct is currently a viable strategy for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Such construct requires a biomaterial with optimal properties, including biocompatibility, ...
The mito-QC Reporter for Quantitative Mitophagy Assessment in Primary Retinal Ganglion Cells and Experimental Glaucoma Models
(MDPI, 2020-03-10)
Mitochondrial damage plays a prominent role in glaucoma. The only way cells can degrade whole mitochondria is via autophagy, in a process called mitophagy. Thus, studying mitophagy in the context of glaucoma is essential ...
Neuroprotection of retinal ganglion cells by Müller Glia in vitro in health and disease
(2019-10-07)
Las células ganglionares de la retina (RGCs) son las únicas neuronas aferentes de la retina y transmiten la información visual al cerebro a través de sus axones, que forman el nervio óptico y su muerte causa una ceguera ...
Effects of Adult Müller Cells and Their Conditioned Media on the Survival of Stem Cell-Derived Retinal Ganglion Cells
(MDPI, 2020-07-22)
Retinal neurons, particularly retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), are susceptible to the degenerative damage caused by different inherited conditions and environmental insults, leading to irreversible vision loss and, ultimately, ...
Cellulose and Graphene Based Polyurethane Nanocomposites for FDM 3D Printing: Filament Properties and Printability
(MDPI, 2021-03-09)
3D printing has exponentially grown in popularity due to the personalization of each printed part it offers, making it extremely beneficial for the very demanding biomedical industry. This technique has been extensively ...
A Customized Pigmentation SNP Array Identifies a Novel SNP Associated with Melanoma Predisposition in the SLC45A2 Gene
(Public Library of Science, 2011-04-29)
As the incidence of Malignant Melanoma (MM) reflects an interaction between skin colour and UV exposure, variations in genes implicated in pigmentation and tanning response to UV may be associated with susceptibility to ...
Estimation of preterm labor immediacy by nonlinear methods
(Public Library Science, 2017-06-01)
Preterm delivery affects about one tenth of human births and is associated with an increased perinatal morbimortality as well as with remarkable costs. Even if there are a number of predictors and markers of preterm delivery, ...
