Unravelling the encapsulation of DNA and other biomolecules in HAp microcalcifications of human breast cancer tissues by raman imaging
(MDPI, 2021)
Microcalcifications are detected through mammography screening and, depending on their morphology and distribution (BI-RADS classification), they can be considered one of the first indicators of suspicious ...
Genomic and serologic characterization ofenterovirus A71 brainstem encephalitis
(Wolters Kluwer, 2020)
Objective: In 2016, Catalonia experienced a pediatric brainstem encephalitis outbreak caused by enterovirus A71 (EV-A71). Conventional testing identified EV in the periphery but rarely in CSF. Metagenomic ...
Immobilization of BMP-2 and VEGF within multilayered polydopamine-coated scaffolds and the resulting osteogenic and angiogenic synergy of co-cultured human mesenchymal stem cells and human endothelial progenitor cells
(MDPI, 2020)
We have previously reported the fabrication of a polycaprolactone and hydroxyapatite composite scaffold incorporating growth factors to be used for bone regeneration. Two growth factors were incorporated ...
Factors associated with depression and anxiety in adults ≥60 years old during the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review
(MDPI, 2021)
COVID-19 represents a threat to public health and the mental health of the aged population. Prevalence and risk factors of depression and anxiety have been reported in previous reviews in other populations; ...
Variation in nicotine metabolization according to biological factors and type of nicotine consumer
(MDPI, 2023)
This study aims to describe the nicotine metabolite ratio among tobacco smokers and electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) users and nonusers. We analyzed pooled data from a longitudinal and a cross-sectional ...
Survival benefit of multidisciplinary care in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Spain: association with noninvasive mechanical ventilation
(Dove Press, 2019)
Purpose: Multidisciplinary care has become the preferred model of care for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is assumed that the sum of interventions associated with this approach ...
Chronic kidney disease in the context of multimorbidity patterns: the role of physical performance: the screening for CKD among older people across Europe (SCOPE) study
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-02)
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to be associated with several co-occurring conditions. We aimed at exploring multimorbidity patterns associated with CKD, as well as the impact of ...
Nurr1 protein Is required for N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor-mediated neuronal survival
(Elsevier, 2012-03-30)
NMDA receptor (NMDAR) stimulation promotes neuronal survival during brain development. Cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) need NMDAR stimulation to survive and develop. These neurons differentiate and ...
“EspaiJove.net”- a school-based intervention programme to promote mental health and eradicate stigma in the adolescent population: study protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Background: One half of adults who develop any mental disorder do so during adolescence. Previous literature showed that Mental Health Literacy (MHL) interventions impact mental health knowledge, reduce ...
CPT1C promotes human mesenchymal stem cells survival under glucose deprivation through the modulation of autophagy
(Nature Research, 2018-05-03)
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are widely used in regenerative medicine. In some
applications, they must survive under low nutrient conditions engendered by avascularity. Strategies to
improve ...
