Estimating Applicability of New Mobile Content Formats to Organizational Use
2003
Innovations on information and communication technology reshape organizational communication. Our ability to estimate applicability of new technologies and content formats to organizational use has been limited to generic quantitative methods at the level of technologies and industries and elaborate qualitative methods targeting specific phenomena at the organizational level. In this paper we estimate quantitatively the applicability of MMS, SMS, XHTML, and XML to organizational use based on an analysis of all communication of an organization unit. We enumerate over 700 communication genres using a genre-based information systems planning method, categorise them with taxonomy of communicati…
Genomic organization and promoter characterization of the gene encoding a putative endoplasmic reticulum chaperone, ERp29
2002
Abstract ERp29 is a soluble protein localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotic cells, which is conserved in all mammalian species. The N-terminal domain of ERp29 displays sequence and structural similarity to the protein disulfide isomerase despite the lack of the characteristic double cysteine motif. Although the exact function of ERp29 is not yet known, it was hypothesized that it may facilitate folding and/or export of secretory proteins in/from the ER. ERp29 is induced by ER stress, i.e. accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER. To gain an insight into the mechanisms regulating ERp29 expression we have cloned and characterized the rat ERp29 gene and studied in details …

A Universal Length-Dependent Vibrational Mode in Graphene Nanoribbons
2019
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have attracted considerable interest as their atomically tunable structure makes them promising candidates for future electronic devices. However, obtaining detailed information about the length of GNRs has been challenging and typically relies on low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. Such methods are ill-suited for practical device application and characterization. In contrast, Raman spectroscopy is a sensitive method for the characterization of GNRs, in particular for investigating their width and structure. Here, we report on a length-dependent, Raman active low-energy vibrational mode that is present in atomically precise, bottom-up synthesized armch…

Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Iron Homeostasis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2013
Iron is an essential micronutrient for all eukaryotic organisms because it participates as a redox cofactor in a wide variety of biological processes. Recent studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have shown that in response to iron deficiency, an RNA-binding protein denoted Cth2 coordinates a global metabolic rearrangement that aims to optimize iron utilization. The Cth2 protein contains two Cx8Cx5Cx3H tandem zinc fingers (TZFs) that specifically bind to adenosine/uridine-rich elements within the 3' untranslated region of many mRNAs to promote their degradation. The Cth2 protein shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Once inside the nucleus, Cth2 binds target mRNAs and stimulate…
9-cis-Retinoic acid enhances fatty acid-induced expression of the liver fatty acid-binding protein gene
1997
The role of retinoic acids (RA) on liver fatty acid- binding protein (L-FABP) expression was investigated in the well differentiated FAO rat hepatoma cell line. 9-cis-Retinoic acid (9-ci's-RA) specifically enhanced L-FABP mRNA levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The higher induction was found 6 h after addition of 10 -6 M 9-CK-RA in the medium. RA also enhanced further both L-FABP mRNA levels and cytosolic L-FABP protein content induced by oleic acid. The retinoid X receptor (RXR) and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), which are known to be activated, respectively, by 9-c/s-RA and long chain fatty acid (LCFA), co-operated to bind specifically the peroxisome prol…
Identificación y caracterización de precursores mesodérmicos con capacidad hematopoyética en el tejido adiposo humano
2013
La fracción vascular estromal (FVE) del tejido adiposo humano contiene precursores mesodérmicos con capacidad de generar in vitro unidades formadoras de colonias hematopoyéticas (CFUs) y colonias mixtas de células hematopoyéticas y endoteliales. El trabajo realizado en esta tesis doctoral ha tenido como objetivo el estudio de estos progenitores hematopoyéticos. Para ello, se aislaron las diferentes subpoblaciones celulares que componen la FVE y tras su caracterización inmunofenotípica, se determinó su capacidad formadora de CFUs y la expresión de los principales factores de transcripción implicados en la hematopoyesis. Para estimar la ontogenia de los progenitores hematopoyéticos contenidos…
Modulação gênica em embriões humanos
2018
O recente implemento de moderna tecnologia -CRISPR/Cas9- possibilitou o avanço inquestionável da edição gênica em linhagem germinativa humana, seja por meio da manipulação de células precursoras de gametas, células tronco pluripotentes, gametas ou, até mesmo, de embriões. Mesmo levando em conta os benefícios terapêuticos preventivos demonstrados nas pesquisas básicas e préclínicas em embriões humanos, tais investigações encontram barreiras de aceitação em todo o mundo. Tal situação exige mudança de atitude no sentido de incrementar o debate em torno da aplicabilidade dessas novas tecnologias. Assim, a adequação das atuais regulamentações faz-se necessária e deve incluir a superação dos desa…
