Identification of Tick Saliva Antigens as Vaccine Candidates and Immunotherapeutics
(2017-10-27)
Mice are widely used in research. This animal species has also beenextensively used to study the relationship between ticks and their mammalian hosts,including the design and test of vaccine candidates, although it is ...
Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Loaded with Glucocorticoids Protect Auditory Cells from Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity
(MDPI, 2019-09-14)
Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent that causes the irreversible death of auditory sensory cells, leading to hearing loss. Local administration of cytoprotective drugs is a potentially better option co-therapy for ...
Integration Through Separation - The Role of Lateral Membrane Segregation in Nutrient Uptake
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06-25)
Nutrient transporters are prominent and ubiquitous components of the plasma membrane in all cell types. Their expression and regulation are tightly linked to the cells' needs. Environmental factors such as nutrient starvation ...
Dermal Delivery of the High-Molecular-Weight Drug Tacrolimus by Means of Polyglycerol-Based Nanogels
(MDPI, 2019-08)
Polyglycerol-based thermoresponsive nanogels (tNGs) have been shown to have excellent skin hydration properties and to be valuable delivery systems for sustained release of drugs into skin. In this study, we compared the ...
Characterization of USP11 as a novel regulator of Hypoxia inducible factor a
(2019-11-27)
Adaptation to hypoxia is a puzzling and tightly regulated challenge. This adaptability involves a severe gene expression rewiring, which is mainly triggered by the Hypoxia Inducible transcription Factor (HIF). Canonically, ...
Molecular recognition between PCNA and proteins involved in DNA replication and repair: p15 and p12
(2019-12-19)
El antígeno nuclear de células en proliferación (PCNA) es un factor esencial en replicación y reparación de ADN en eucariotas. Forma un anillo homotrimérico que rodea y se desliza a lo largo del ADN, actuando como una ...
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 ...
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 ...
Structural study of CUG-repeating small RNAs complexed with silencing suppressor P19
(2014-02-24)
The study is focused on structural aspects of interaction between silencing suppressor p19 and CUG-repeating small RNAs. The work involves crystal structure determination of a protein-unbound RNA form and RNA fragments of ...
Magnetic Cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates (mCLEAs) of Candida antarctica Lipase: An Efficient and Stable Biocatalyst for Biodiesel Synthesis
(Public Library Science, 2014-12-31)
Enzyme-catalyzed production of biodiesel is the object of extensive research due to the global shortage of fossil fuels and increased environmental concerns. Herein we report the preparation and main characteristics of a ...
