A new Late Pleistocene non-anthropogenic vertebrate assemblage from the northern Iberian Peninsula: Artazu VII (Arrasate, Basque Country)
(Elsevier, 2016-06-29)
Late Pleistocene palaeontological sites without human intervention are limited in theCantabrian region, and even more so those with a good state of preservation and rich bio-diversity. A new vertebrate fossiliferous locality ...
Exploring chemical reactions to enhance thermal and dispersion stability of kraft and organosolv lignin
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Lignin has been overlooked and used as a waste for long due to its complex and partially hydrophobic structure. Many efforts have been carried out to overcome these deficiencies and apply it as a high-value product, which ...
Review on the matching conditions for the tidal problem: towards the application to more general contexts
(Springer Nature, 2024-04)
The tidal problem is used to obtain the tidal deformability (or Love number) of stars. The semi-analytical study is usually treated in perturbation theory as a first order perturbation problem over a spherically symmetric ...
MLe-KCNQ2: An Artificial Intelligence Model for the Prognosis of Missense KCNQ2 Gene Variants
(MDPI, 2024-03-02)
Despite the increasing availability of genomic data and enhanced data analysis procedures, predicting the severity of associated diseases remains elusive in the absence of clinical descriptors. To address this challenge, ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of the calmodulin-induced α-helix in the SK2 calcium-gated potassium ion channel
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
The family of small-conductance Ca2+-activated potassium ion channels (SK channels) is composed of four members (SK1, SK2, SK3, and SK4) involved in neuron-firing regulation. The gating of these channels depends on the ...
Harnessing the intragenomic variability of rRNA operons to improve differentiation of Vibrio species
(Nature, 2024)
Although the 16S rRNA gene is frequently used as a phylogenetic marker in analysis of environmental DNA, this marker often fails to distinguish closely related species, including those in the genus Vibrio. Here, we investigate ...
Do calmodulin binding IQ motifs have built-in capping domains?
(Wiley, 2021-08-15)
Most calmodulin (CaM) targets are alpha-helices. It is not clear if CaM induces the adoption of an alpha-helix configuration to its targets or if those targets are selected as they spontaneously adopt an alpha-helical ...
Association between birthweight and later body mass index: an individual-based pooled analysis of 27 twin cohorts participating in the CODATwins project
(Oxford University Press, 2017-10)
Background: There is evidence that birthweight is positively associated with body mass
index (BMI) in later life, but it remains unclear whether this is explained by genetic factors
or the intrauterine environment. We ...
Chronic defeat stress induces monoamine level dysregulation in the prefrontal cortex but not in the hippocampus of OF1 male mice
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
Chronic social stress can increase susceptibility to chronic diseases such as depression. One of the most used models to study the physiological mechanisms and behavioral outcomes of this type of stress is chronic defeat ...
A “Blood Relationship” Between the Overlooked Minimum Lactate Equivalent and Maximal Lactate Steady State in Trained Runners. Back to the Old Days?
(Frontiers Media, 2018-07)
Maximal Lactate Steady State (MLSS) and Lactate Threshold (LT) are physiologically-related and fundamental concepts within the sports and exercise sciences. Literature supporting their relationship, however, is scarce. ...
