The Lin28/Let-7 System in Early Human Embryonic Tissue and Ectopic Pregnancy
(PLOS, 2014)
Our objective was to determine the expression of the elements of the Lin28/Let-7 system, and related microRNAs (miRNAs), in early stages of human placentation and ectopic pregnancy, as a means to assess the potential role ...
Comparative insights of the kisspeptin/kisspeptin receptor system: lessons from non-mammalian vertebrates
(Elsevier, 2012)
Kisspeptins, the peptide products of the Kiss1 gene, were initially identified in mammals as ligands of the G protein‐coupled receptor 54 (GPR54; also termed Kiss1R) with ability to suppress tumor metastasis. In late 2003, ...
Aridity Modulates N Availability in Arid and Semiarid Mediterranean Grasslands
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
While much is known about the factors that control each component of the terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycle, it is less clear how
these factors affect total N availability, the sum of organic and inorganic forms potentially ...
Immune signatures of pathogenesis in the peritoneal compartment during early infection of sheep with Fasciola hepatica
(Nature, 2017)
Immune signatures of sheep acutely-infected with Fasciola hepatica, an important pathogen of
livestock and humans were analysed within the peritoneal compartment to investigate early infection.
Within the peritoneum, F. ...
Circulation of a Meaban-Like Virus in Yellow-Legged Gulls and Seabird Ticks in the Western Mediterranean Basin
(PLOS, 2014)
In recent years, a number of zoonotic flaviviruses have emerged worldwide, and wild birds serve as their major reservoirs. Epidemiological surveys of bird populations at various geographical scales can clarify key aspects ...
Distribución de linfocitos FOXP3 reguladores en hígado y nódulos linfáticos de ovejas y cabras infectadas con fasciola hepática
(Universidad de Córdoba. Departamento de Anatomía y Anatomía Patológica Comparadas, 2016)
Understanding Spatio-Temporal Variability in the Reproduction Ratio of the Bluetongue (BTV-1) Epidemic in Southern Spain (Andalusia) in 2007 Using Epidemic Trees
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Andalusia (Southern Spain) is considered one of the main routes of introduction of bluetongue
virus (BTV) into Europe, evidenced by a devastating epidemic caused by BTV-1 in
2007. Understanding the pattern and the drivers ...
Caracterización de macrófagos peritoneales de ovejas en fases tempranas de infección experimental con fasciola hepática
(Universidad de Córdoba. Departamento de Anatomía y Anatomía Patológica Comparadas, 2016)
Metarhizium anisopliae Pathogenesis of Mosquito Larvae: A Verdict of Accidental Death
(Public Libray of Science (PLOS), 2013)
Metarhizium anisopliae, a fungal pathogen of terrestrial arthropods, kills the aquatic larvae of Aedes aegypti, the vector of
dengue and yellow fever. The fungus kills without adhering to the host cuticle. Ingested conidia ...
Activation of microglia in specific hypothalamic nuclei and the cerebellum of adult rats exposed to neonatal overnutrition
(Blackwell Publishing, 2011)
Much attention has been drawn to the possible involvement of hypothalamic inflammation in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders, especially in response to a high-fat diet. Microglia, the macrophages of the central nervous ...
