Unveiling adaptive mechanisms though experimental evolution: the role of duplicated genes and phenotypic plasticity in yeast, and the genetic variabi…

2021

Los seres vivos se enfrentan a condiciones ambientales cambiantes y habitualmente estresantes, agravadas por el cambio climático, que ponen a prueba su capacidad de supervivencia. El cambio en la composición genética de las poblaciones reside en las mutaciones, que son la fuente para la evolución y la adaptación a los cambios. La diversidad genética intrapoblacional está regulada por dos grandes fuerzas evolutivas que cambian la composición genética permitiendo así el acceso a nuevos fenotipos: la deriva genética y la selección natural. Por un lado, la deriva genética fija mutaciones en la población de manera aleatoria e independiente del efecto que suponga dicha mutación para la población.…

Hiilinanoputkihemiselluloosan virtaus mikrokanavan leveyden funktiona

2017

Mikrofluidistiikka ja mikroelektroniset systeemit löytävät tiensä entistä useammin arkipäiväiseen elämään ja tutkimukseen. Vaikkakin hiilinanoputket ovat yksi tutkituimmista materiaaleista, niin lähestyimme asiaa käyttämällä hemiselluloosalla vesiliukoistettuja hiilinanoputkia. Tarkoituksena on tutkia tämän hiilinanoputki-hermiselluloosaliuoksen kuljetusta mikrofluidististen kanavien läpi. Lähestymistapamme on käyttää PDMS mikrokanavia, joita valmistimme eri halkaisijoilla. Muotit mikrokanavien valmistusta varten saimme Aalto yliopistosta. Päämäärää varten on valmistettava PDMS kanavia, suoritettava hydrofiilisyyskasittelyjä ja sonikaattorilla puhdistavia käsittelyjä. Parhaan tuloksen aikaa…

Dažādu škīdinātāju mijiedarbība ar kolorimetrisko testu reaģentiem

2020

Veicot dažādus eksperimentos var būt nepieciešams izmantot vielas ar dažādu šķīdību ūdenī un organiskos šķīdinātājos. Nereti precīzai eksperimenta norisei nepieciešams noteikts pH līmenis, ko nākas izmainīt oriģinālajā šķīdumā. In vitro eksperimentos vielu šķīdībai ir ļoti liela nozīme, jo ir virkne priekšnosacījumu eksperimenta veikšanai, kas izriet no pašu eksperimentu būtības. Piemēram, eksperimentos ar šūnu līnijām jāizmanto barotnes un piedevas ar pH 7,4 un tām jābūt šķīdumiem ūdenī, jo organiskie šķīdinātāji dažādās koncentrācijās nonāvē šūnas. Eksperimentos ar izolētiem enzīmiem vai audu membrānām arī vienmēr šķīdinātāju kontroles ir obligātas. Eksperimentos in vitro visbiežāk izmant…

Lead Excretion in Spanish Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

2015

Among epigenetic factors leading to increased prevalence of juvenile neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, exposure to metals, such as lead (Pb) have led to conflicting results. The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of Pb in the urine of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared with typically developing children (TD) age- and sex-matched, and to analyze any association between core symptoms of ASD, special diets, supplements intake or prescription drugs and the concentration of Pb. The study was performed in a group of children with ASD (n = 35, average age 7.4 ± 0.5 years) and TD (n = 34, average age 7.7 ± 0.9 years). Measurement of…

Functional In Vitro Studies Of Buffy Coat Pooled Platelets Cryopreserved In Dimethyl-Sulphoxide With a New System

2013

Abstract Introduction Cryopreservation for long term storage of platelets (PLTs) represents a clinical useful method for avoiding platelet shortage. Many studies have tried to define, in vitro and in vivo, the entity and weight of storage-related PLTs lesions with discordant results related to different methods. We have performed an in vitro prospective study to evaluate PLTs count, viability and function of buffy coat derived pooled platelet concentrates (BC-PLTs) treated with dimethyl-sulphoxide (DMSO) and cryopreserved at -80°C with an innovative patented system not requiring laminal flow hoods and external manipulations. Materials and methods Each BC-PLTs was obtained from 5 buffy coats…

Cryopreserved platelets: from in vitro thrombin generation potential to in vivo safety

2015

Abstract Background: Cryopreservation of platelets (PLTs) at -80°C with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) can extend their shelf life up to 2 years. Cryopreserved PLTs (CRY-PLTs) are reported to have a greater in vivo hemostatic effect than liquid-stored PLTs. Aims of this study were: i. to evaluate the thrombin generation potential of buffy coat derived cryopreserved PLTs (CRY- BC PLT) in comparison with fresh buffy coat derived platelets concentrates; ii. to determine the efficacy and safety of CRY-PLTs transfusion in hematological patients with severe thrombocytopenia. Materials and methods: BC PLTs were obtained from 5 buffy coats and pooled. The final PLTs concentrates were leukoreduced by fil…

Patterning of supported gold monolayers via chemical lift-off lithography

2017

The supported monolayer of Au that accompanies alkanethiolate molecules removed by polymer stamps during chemical lift-off lithography is a scarcely studied hybrid material. We show that these Au–alkanethiolate layers on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) are transparent, functional, hybrid interfaces that can be patterned over nanometer, micrometer, and millimeter length scales. Unlike other ultrathin Au films and nanoparticles, lifted-off Au–alkanethiolate thin films lack a measurable optical signature. We therefore devised fabrication, characterization, and simulation strategies by which to interrogate the nanoscale structure, chemical functionality, stoichiometry, and spectral signature of t…
