Biological and cellular effects of percutaneous electrolysis: a systematic review
(Biomedicines, 2024)Background: Percutaneous electrolysis is an invasive physical therapy technique that is receiving attention. The objective of this article is to evaluate the biological and cellular effects of percutaneous ... -
CDKN1A/p21 in breast cancer: part of the problem, or part of the solution?
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023)Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (Cip1/Waf1/CDKN1A/p21) is a well-established protein, primarily recognised for its pivotal role in the cell cycle, where it induces cell cycle arrest by inhibiting ... -
Effects of muscarinic receptor antagonism in the basolateral amygdala on two-way active avoidance
(Experimental Brain Research, 2011)The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the blockade of muscarinic receptors (mRs) in the basolateral amygdala (BLA), which receives important cholinergic inputs related to avoidance ... -
Electrophysiological correlates of semantic anticipation during speech comprehension
(Neuropsychologia, 2017)Words that are more predictable given a previous context show facilitated processing over low predictable ones. Such facilitation has been traditionally viewed as associated with reduced amplitudes in ... -
Engineered live bacteria suppress Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in mouse lung and dissolve endotracheal-tube biofilms
(Nature Biotechnology, 2023)Engineered live bacteria could provide a new modality for treating lung infections, a major cause of mortality worldwide. In the present study, we engineered a genome-reduced human lung bacterium, ... -
Exploring intensity-dependent echogenic response to percutaneous electrolysis in tendon tissue: a cadaveric study
(Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025)Background: Percutaneous electrolysis (PE) is an emerging therapeutic approach for tendinopathies, applying a galvanic current through a dry-needling needle to induce regenerative tissue responses. ... -
Long-term expression of erythropoietin from myoblasts immobilized in biocompatible and neovascularized microcapsules
(Molecular Therapy, 2005)The present paper investigates the long-term functionality of an ex vivo gene therapy approach based on cell microencapsulation for the continuous delivery of erythropoietin (EPO) without implementation ... -
Multisensory information facilitates reaction speed by enlarging activity difference between superior colliculus hemispheres in rats
(PLoS ONE, 2011)Animals can make faster behavioral responses to multisensory stimuli than to unisensory stimuli. The superior colliculus (SC), which receives multiple inputs from different sensory modalities, is ... -
Muscarinic receptor blockade in ventral hippocampus and prelimbic cortex impairs memory for socially transmitted food preference
(Hippocampus, 2008)Acetylcholine is involved in learning and memory and, particularly, in olfactory tasks, but reports on its specific role in consolidation processes are somewhat controversial. The present experiment ... -
Muscarinic transmission in the basolateral amygdala is necessary for the acquisition of socially transmitted food preferences in rats
(Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, 2009)We examined the involvement of muscarinic receptors in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in the social transmission of food preference (STFP) learning by assessing the effects of scopolamine (20 μg/side), ... -
National cultural dimensions and their impact on construction project management in developing countries: the case of Ghana
(Journal of Construction in Developing Countries, 2023)Construction project management (CPM) in developing countries (DCs) tends to experience high levels of failure. These failures have been attributed to technical, behavioural and economic factors. However, ... -
Neurophysiological signatures of prediction in language: A critical review of anticipatory negativities
(Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2024)Recent event-related potential (ERP) studies in language comprehension converge in finding anticipatory negativities preceding words or word segments that can be pre-activated based on either sentence ... -
Numerical study of the depth and cross-sectional shape of tunnel under surface explosion
(Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2015)Recently, blasting loads have come into consideration because of the large number of intentional or unintentional events that affected important structures around the world, obviously indicating that ... -
Quantitative ultrasound characterization of intensity-dependent changes in muscle tissue during percutaneous electrolysis
(Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025)Background/Objectives: Percutaneous electrolysis is a physiotherapeutic technique based on the application of galvanic current to induce structural and biochemical changes in musculoskeletal tissues. ... -
Rationally designed azobenzene photoswitches for efficient two-photon neuronal excitation
(Nature Communications, 2019)Manipulation of neuronal activity using two-photon excitation of azobenzene photoswitches with near-infrared light has been recently demonstrated, but their practical use in neuronal tissue to photostimulate ... -
SIREs 3.0, an improved RNA prediction tool for iron-responsive elements
(Nucleic Acids Research, 2025)Iron-responsive elements (IREs) are cis-acting regulatory RNA motifs that bind to iron regulatory proteins (IRP1 and IRP2), playing an essential role in the post-transcriptional regulation of genes ... -
Spatiotemporal network dynamics and structural correlates in the human cerebral cortex in vitro
(Progress in Neurobiology, 2025)Elucidating human cerebral cortex function is essential for understanding the physiological basis of both healthy and pathological brain states. We obtained extracellular local field potential recordings ... -
Tracing nerve fibers with volume electron microscopy to quantitatively analyze brain connectivity
(Communications Biology, 2024)The highly complex structure of the brain requires an approach that can unravel its connectivity. Using volume electron microscopy and a dedicated software we can trace and measure all nerve fibers ...
