Analyzing Modern Biomolecules: The Revolution of Nucleic-Acid Sequencing-Review
(MDPI, 2021)
Recent developments have revolutionized the study of biomolecules. Among them are molecular markers, amplification and sequencing of nucleic acids. The latter is classified into three generations. The first allows to ...
Studies of variability in the response of holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) to stresses associated with the decline syndrome: Drought and Phytophthora cinnamomi
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)
Resilience to adverse environmental conditions (biotic and abiotic stresses) is one of the main objectives in forest tree breeding programs, and it should be a priority for Holm oak (Quercus ilex), considered the increasing ...
An Entropy Approach to Multiple Sclerosis Identification
(MDPI, 2022)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a relatively common neurodegenerative illness that frequently causes a large level of disability in patients. While its cause is not fully understood, it is likely due to a combination of genetic ...
Interspecific Variation between the American Quercus virginiana and Mediterranean Quercus Species in Terms of Seed Nutritional Composition, Phytochemical Content, and Antioxidant Activity
(MDPI, 2021)
This study aimed to evaluate a complete nutritional composition in the seeds Quercus virginiana to compare this nutritional composition with three Mediterranean Quercus species. We analyzed the seed morphometry, proximate ...
Development of a High-Throughput Calcium Mobilization Assay for CCR6 Receptor Coupled to Hydrolase Activity Readout
(MDPI, 2022)
CCR6 is a chemokine receptor highly implicated in inflammatory diseases and could be a potential therapeutic target; however, no therapeutic agents targeting CCR6 have progressed into clinical evaluation. Development of a ...
Ethylene and Nitric Oxide Involvement in the Regulation of Fe and P Deficiency Responses in Dicotyledonous Plants
(MDPI, 2021)
Iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) are two essential elements for plant growth. Both elements are abundant in soils but with poor availability for plants, which favor their acquisition by developing morphological and physiological ...
Extracellular Vesicles from Different Pneumococcal Serotypes Are Internalized by Macrophages and Induce Host Immune Responses
(MDPI, 2021)
Bacterial extracellular vesicles are membranous ultrastructures released from the cell surface. They play important roles in the interaction between the host and the bacteria. In this work, we show how extracellular vesicles ...
Photosystem II Repair Cycle in Faba Bean May Play a Role in Its Resistance to Botrytis fabae Infection
(MDPI, 2021)
Chocolate spot, which is caused by the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis fabae, is a major foliar disease occurring worldwide and dramatically reducing crop yields in faba bean (Vicia faba). Although chemical control of this ...
Untargeted MS-Based Metabolomics Analysis of the Responses to Drought Stress in Quercus ilex L. Leaf Seedlings and the Identification of Putative Compounds Related to Tolerance
(MDPI, 2022)
The effect and responses to drought stress were analyzed in Quercus ilex L. seedlings using a nontargeted metabolomic approach, implementing the approaches of previous studies in which other -omics platforms, transcriptomics, ...
The Potassium Transporter Hak1 in Candida Albicans, Regulation and Physiological Effects at Limiting Potassium and under Acidic Conditions
(MDPI, 2021)
The three families of yeast plasma membrane potassium influx transporters are represented in Candida albicans: Trk, Acu, and Hak proteins. Hak transporters work as K+-H+ symporters, and the genes coding for Hak proteins ...
