Regulación espacio-temporal de la homeostasis del cobre en Arabidopsis thaliana
2013
El cobre y el hierro son nutrientes esenciales para los seres vivos aerobios y sus potenciales redox son utilizados en las reacciones de transferencia de electrones. Sin embargo, esta capacidad redox resulta tóxica cuando los metales de transición entran en contacto con intermediarios del metabolismo aerobio, conocidos como ROS (reactive oxygen species). Los organismos aerobios han desarrollado estrategias homeostáticas para mantener los niveles de los metales adecuados en la célula y distribuir, espacial y temporalmente, los procesos de transporte y tráfico intracelular de metales para minimizar el daño oxidativo al resto de procesos celulares. En este sentido, recientemente se ha demostra…
Intrarater Reliability and Analysis of Learning Effects in the Y Balance Test
2023
While the general reliability of the Y balance test has been previously found to be excellent, earlier reviews highlighted a need for a more consistent methodology between studies. The purpose of this test–retest intrarater reliability study was to assess the intrarater reliability of the YBT using different methodologies regarding normalisation for leg length, number of repetitions, and score calculation. Sixteen healthy adult novice recreational runners aged 18–55 years, both women and men, were reviewed in a laboratory environment. Mean calculated scores, intraclass correlation coefficient, standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change were calculated and analysed between …
Test−Retest Reliability of Isokinetic Ankle, Knee and Hip Strength in Physically Active Adults Using Biodex System 4 Pro
2023
Background: The isokinetic dynamometry is considered a gold standard in muscle strength testing. The reliability of lower limb isokinetic strength measurements has not been thoroughly evaluated. Objective: To examine the test−retest reliability of isokinetic ankle plantar and dorsiflexion, ankle inversion and eversion, knee extension and flexion and hip abduction and adduction strength in physically active adults using Biodex System 4 Pro. Methods: Peak torques (PTs) and average peak torques (APTs) of the dominant and nondominant lower limbs were tested twice in 19 physically active adults 7 to 14 days apart. Results: The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) values varied from excellen…
Antitumor Effect of Cabozantinib in Bone Metastatic Models of Renal Cell Carcinoma
2021
Background: The presence of bone metastases in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) negatively affects patients’ survival. Data from clinical trials has highlighted a significant benefit of cabozantinib in bone metastatic RCC patients. Here, we evaluated the antitumor effect of cabozantinib in coculture models of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and osteoblasts (OBs) to investigate whether and how its antiproliferative activity is influenced by OBs. Methods: Bone/RCC models were generated, coculturing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged Caki-1 and 786-O cells with human primary OBs in a “cell–cell contact” system. RCC proliferation and the OB molecular profile were evaluated after the cabozantinib treat…
The genome sequence of Blochmannia floridanus: Comparative analysis of reduced genomes
2003
Bacterial symbioses are widespread among insects, probably being one of the key factors of their evolutionary success. We present the complete genome sequence of Blochmannia floridanus , the primary endosymbiont of carpenter ants. Although these ants feed on a complex diet, this symbiosis very likely has a nutritional basis: Blochmannia is able to supply nitrogen and sulfur compounds to the host while it takes advantage of the host metabolic machinery. Remarkably, these bacteria lack all known genes involved in replication initiation ( dna A, pri A, and rec A). The phylogenetic analysis of a set of conserved protein-coding genes shows that Bl. floridanus is phylogenetically related to Buch…
Vigilancia de la susceptibilidad antibiótica y caracterización genotípica de aislados de Neisseria gonorrhoeae en la Comunidad Valenciana: proyecto m…
2020
Se calcula que cada año se producen más de 376 millones de nuevas infecciones transmitidas por vía sexual (ITS), representando las mismas un grave problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. Su incidencia se ha visto incrementada de forma alarmante durante las últimas dos décadas, causando perjuicios en la salud de aquellas personas que las padecen. Esta tendencia ascendente, similar en todos los países de Europa, responde a varias causas, muchas de ellas sociales. La gonorrea constituye, tras la infección producida por Chlamydia trachomatis, la segunda ITS más prevalente a nivel global. Tan solo en el año 2016, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) estimó en 86 millones los nuevos conta…

Antioxidant Effects of Dietary Supplements on Adult COVID-19 Patients: Why Do We Not Also Use Them in Children?
2022
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are very common in children, especially in the first five years of life, and several viruses, such as the influenza virus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, and Rhinovirus, are triggers for symptoms that usually affect the upper airways. It has been known that during respiratory viral infections, a condition of oxidative stress (OS) occurs, and many studies have suggested the potential use of antioxidants as complementary components in prophylaxis and/or therapy of respiratory viral infections. Preliminary data have demonstrated that antioxidants may also interfere with the new coronavirus 2’s entry and replication in human cells, and that they have a role in …
