Application of percutaneous needle electrolysis does not elicit temperature changes: an in vitro cadaveric study
(International Journal of Environmental Reseacrh and Public Health, 2022)Percutaneous needle electrolysis (PNE) consists of the ultrasound-guided application of a galvanic electrical current through a solid filament needle. One proposed therapeutic mechanism for this ... -
Assessing the potential role of copper and cobalt in stimulating angiogenesis for tissue regeneration
(PLoS One, 2021)The use of copper (Cu2+) and cobalt (Co2+) has been described to stimulate blood vessel formation, a key process for the success of tissue regeneration. However, understanding how different concentrations ... -
Correlation between physical performance and stabilometric parameters in older adults
(Medicina, 2022)Background and Objectives: Falls are a common and serious threat to the health and independence of older adults. The decrease in functional capacity during aging means an increased risk of falls. To ... -
Description of an ultrasound-guided transverse approach to the transversus thoracis plane block and evaluation of injectate spread in canine cadavers
(Animals, 2021)In humans, the aim of the transversus thoracis plane block is to desensitise the intercostal nerves running through this plane, providing analgesia to the anterior chest wall. Our objective was twofold: ... -
Dissociation of functional and structural plasticity of dendritic spines during NMDAR and mGluR-dependent long-term synaptic depression in wild-type and fragile X model mice
(Molecular Psychiatry, 2021)Many neurodevelopmental disorders are characterized by impaired functional synaptic plasticity and abnormal dendritic spine morphology, but little is known about how these are related. Previous work in ... -
Effectiveness of a multicomponent training program on physical performance and muscle quality in older adults: a quasi-experimental study
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023)Aging is associated with a decrease in functional capacity, manifested by a loss of strength, physical performance and muscle quality. Multicomponent training (MCT), characterized by the combination of ... -
Engineering a genome reduced bacterium to eliminate Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in vivo
(Molecular Systems Biology, 2021)Bacteria present a promising delivery system for treating human diseases. Here, we engineered the genome-reduced human lung pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a live biotherapeutic to treat biofilm-associated ... -
Global signalling network analysis of luminal T47D breast cancer cells in response to progesterone
(Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022)Background: Breast cancer cells enter into the cell cycle following progestin exposure by the activation of signalling cascades involving a plethora of enzymes, transcription factors and co-factors that ... -
Hereditary hyperferritinemia cataract syndrome: ferritin L gene and physiopathology behind the disease - report of new cases
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021)Hereditary hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome (HHCS) is a rare disease characterized by high serum ferritin levels, congenital bilateral cataracts, and the absence of tissue iron overload. This disorder ... -
Improving signal/noise resolution in single-molecule experiments using molecular constructs with short handles
(Biophysical Journal, 2011)We investigate unfolding/folding force kinetics in DNA hairpins exhibiting two and three states with newly designed short dsDNA handles (29 bp) using optical tweezers. We show how the higher stiffness ... -
Interexaminer reliability and validity of quantity of cervical mobility during online dynamic inspection
(Diagnostics, 2022)Background: Physical therapists routinely measure range of motion (ROM) of cervical spine. The reliability of the cervical range of motion (CROM) device has been demonstrated in several studies, but ... -
New partners identified by mass spectrometry assay reveal functions of NCAM2 in neural cytoskeleton organization
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021)Neuronal cell adhesion molecule 2 (NCAM2) is a membrane protein with an important role in the morphological development of neurons. In the cortex and the hippocampus, NCAM2 is essential for proper ... -
A progesterone derivative linked to a stable phospholipid activates breast cancer cell response without leaving the cell membrane
(Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2024)In hormone-responsive breast cancer cells, progesterone (P4) has been shown to act via its nuclear receptor (nPR), a ligand-activated transcription factor. A small fraction of progesterone receptor is ... -
Regulation of actin dynamics during structural plasticity of dendritic spines: signaling messengers and actin-binding proteins
(Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 2018-09)Activity-dependent plasticity of synaptic structure and function plays an essential role in neuronal development and in cognitive functions including learning and memory. The formation, maintenance and ... -
Single-molecule stochastic resonance
(Physical Review X, 2012)Stochastic resonance (SR) is a well-known phenomenon in dynamical systems. It consists of the amplification and optimization of the response of a system assisted by stochastic (random or probabilistic) ... -
Skull fractures by glass bottles tested on cadaveric heads
(International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2023)Head trauma is frequently related to the misuse of drinking vessels as weapons. Forensic reports usually evaluate these blunt injuries as having occurred in scenarios where the alcohol intake is high. ... -
Study on balance and postural control sccording to the stabilometry in indoor skydivers: a cross-sectional study
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023)Background: The wind tunnel is a compression cabin through which a stream of air rises homogeneously, generated by fans. To perform different acrobatics, indoor skydivers have to change their body ... -
Unliganded progesterone receptor governs estrogen receptor gene expression by regulating DNA methylation in breast cancer cells
(Cancers, 2018)Breast cancer prognosis and response to endocrine therapy strongly depends on the expression of the estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR, respectively). Although much is known about ERα gene ...
