Phenotypic and genetic characterization of emerging trematodiasis: Fascioliasis and Schistosomiasis

2021

La Fascioliasis y la Esquistosomiasis son dos importantes trematodiasis (re)emergentes con gran impacto en la salud humana. Dada la necesidad de caracterizar las poblaciones de Trematodos involucradas, los objetivos de la presente investigación son: en primer lugar, analizar el impacto de la reinfección experimental por Fasciola hepatica en los fenotipos inmunológicos, clínicos y biológicos por medio de un diseño experimental que reproduce las condiciones habituales de reinfección/cronicidad en las zonas endémicas de la Fascioliasis humana; en segundo lugar, la caracterización fenotípica morfológica de huevos de Schistosoma haematobium de migrantes subsaharianos con Esquistosomiasis urogeni…

Fractal-like Hierarchical CuO Nano/Microstructures for Large-Surface-to-Volume-Ratio Dip Catalysts

2022

Dip catalysts are attracting interest in both academia and industry for catalyzing important chemical reactions. These provide excellent stability, better recoverability, recyclability, and easy scale-up. Using the unique microstructures of leaf skeletons, we present a fractal-like hierarchical surface that can be used as a versatile and efficient dip catalyst. Copper oxide microcactuses with nanoscalar features were fabricated onto the Bauhinia racemosa leaf skeletons via a combination of physical vapor deposition, electroplating, and chemical oxidation methods. The coated leaf skeletons have a very high surface area, and the three-dimensional (3D) morphology allows the reactants to encoun…

Walking Stroop carpet: an innovative dual-task concept for detecting cognitive impairment

However, current dual-task tests appear to be insufficient for early diagnosi…

How amniotic fluid shapes early odor-guided responses to colostrum and milk (and more)

2016

Revue; Among the multiple transitions that characterize mammalian development, birth certainly is the most abrupt and spectacular. It is also the most challenging for newborns when one considers their high mortality rates in any mammalian species. Although evolution has selected newborn organisms that possess the physiological and behavioral keys leading to adapt to this harsh psychobiological challenge, their capabilities cannot be considered separately from the maternal organism and the environment she creates. Mammalian females provide indeed passive (physiological) and/or active (behavioral) assistance to complement and boost their offspring’s capacities. One notable strategy of mammali…

CHARACTERIZATION AND ENERGETIC METABOLISM ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT POPULATIONS OF UMBILICAL CORD MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS FOR THE TREATMENT OF STROKE

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. A direct consequence of oxygen and glucose deprivation during stroke is the dysfunction of mitochondria that impairs oxidative metabolism and contributes to oxidative stress, neuronal death and inflammation. Human umbilical cord (UC)-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) are an attractive source for regenerative medicine purposes due to their self-renewal and multipotent differentiation potential, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory abilities. Notably, because UC is supplied from only three blood vessels, the UC-MSCs are physiologically adapted to survive in a relatively hypoxic and glucose poor environment leading to the hypothesis that thes…

Brain Opioid Activity and Oxidative Injury: Different Molecular Scenarios Connecting Celiac Disease and Autistic Spectrum Disorder

2020

Celiac Disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disease triggered by the ingestion of wheat gliadin and related prolamins from other cereals, such as barley and rye. Immunity against these cereal-derived proteins is mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by both innate and adaptive system response in individuals unable to adequately digest them. Peptides generated in this condition are absorbed across the gut barrier, which in these patients is characterized by the deregulation of its permeability. Here, we discuss a possible correlation between CD and Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) pathogenesis. ASD can be induced by an excessive and inappropriate brain opioid activity during the neon…

Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Baseline and Slope of Prefrontal Cortex Hemodynamics During a Spatial Working Memory Task

2020

Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to be an inexpensive, safe, and effective way of augmenting a variety of cognitive abilities. Relatively recent advances in neuroimaging technology have provided the ability to measure brain activity concurrently during active brain stimulation rather than after stimulation. The effects on brain activity elicited by tDCS during active tDCS reported by initial studies have been somewhat conflicted and seemingly dependent on whether a behavioral improvement was observed. Objective: The current study set out to address questions regarding behavioral change, within and between-participant designs as well as differentiatin…
