Biotic vs. Abiotic Control of Decomposition: A Comparison of the Effects of Simulated Extinctions and Changes in Temperature
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01)
The loss of species is known to have significant effects on ecosystem functioning, but only recently has it been recognized that species loss might rival the effects of other forms of environmental change on ecosystem ...
TWEAK/Fn14 Signaling Is Required for Liver Regeneration after Partial Hepatectomy in Mice
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01)
Background & Aims: Pro-inflammatory cytokines are important for liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH). Expression of Fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14), the receptor for TNF-like weak inducer of ...
Detection of Atomic Scale Changes in the Free Volume Void Size of Three-Dimensional Colorectal Cancer Cell Culture Using Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01-02)
Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) provides a direct measurement of the free volume void sizes in polymers and biological systems. This free volume is critical in explaining and understanding physical and ...
Association between CASP8-652 6N Del Polymorphism (rs3834129) and Colorectal Cancer Risk: Results from a Multi-Centric Study
(Public Library Science, 2014-01)
The common 2652 6N del variant in the CASP8 promoter (rs3834129) has been described as a putative low-penetrance risk factor for different cancer types. In particular, some studies suggested that the deleted allele (del) ...
Progressive Decrease in the Potential Usefulness of Meningococcal Serogroup B Vaccine (4CMenB, Bexsero (R)) in Gipuzkoa, Northern Spain
(Public Library Science, 2014-12-26)
The effectiveness of a vaccine is determined not only by the immunogenicity of its components, but especially by how widely it covers the disease-causing strains circulating in a given region. Because vaccine coverage ...
On the Dynamics of the Adenylate Energy System: Homeorhesis vs Homeostasis
(Public Library Science, 2014-10-10)
Biochemical energy is the fundamental element that maintains both the adequate turnover of the biomolecular structures and the functional metabolic viability of unicellular organisms. The levels of ATP, ADP and AMP reflect ...
Relación entre el índice de consumo de pescado y carne y la adecuación y calidad de la dieta en mujeres jóvenes universitarias
(Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parental y Enteral, 2014)
[ES] Introducción: En las poblaciones occidentales el consumo de pescado es menor que el de carnes y esto puede influir en la calidad de la dieta total.
Objetivo: Comprobar si la relación entre el consumo de pescado y ...
Pivoting between Calmodulin Lobes Triggered by Calcium in the Kv7.2/Calmodulin Complex
(Public Library Science, 2014-01-28)
Kv7.2 (KCNQ2) is the principal molecular component of the slow voltage gated M-channel, which strongly influences neuronal excitability. Calmodulin (CaM) binds to two intracellular C-terminal segments of Kv7.2 channels, ...
Subtypes of Patients Experiencing Exacerbations of COPD and Associations with Outcomes
(Public Library Science, 2014-06-03)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex and heterogeneous condition characterized by occasional exacerbations. Identifying clinical subtypes among patients experiencing COPD exacerbations (ECOPD) could ...
Novel Evidence hat Attributing Affectively Salient Signal to Random Noise Is Associated with Psychosis
(Public Library Science, 2014-07-14)
We wished to replicate evidence that an experimental paradigm of speech illusions is associated with psychotic experiences. Fifty-four patients with a first episode of psychosis (FEP) and 150 healthy subjects were examined ...
