Probing RNA structural landscapes across Candida yeast genomes
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2024)Understanding the intricate roles of RNA molecules in virulence and host-pathogen interactions can provide valuable insights into combatting infections and improving human health. Although much progress ... -
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 ... -
Similarities and differences between religious communities in addressing climate change
(Worldviews: Global Religions, Culture, and Ecology, 2024)This study explores: a) what is being done by religions present in Catalonia (Spain) to address climate change; b) what the worldviews of the different religions are with regard to climate change, and, ... -
Dental and oral pathologies at El Mirador Cave (Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain)
(2022)The dental and oral pathologies of the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age herders from El Mirador cave indicate good general oral health in both populations as deduced from the low prevalence of pathologies ... -
Supernumerary fourth molar and dental pathologies in a Chalcolithic individual from the El Mirador Cave site (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain)
(HOMO, 2015)We present a middle-aged Chalcolithic male with a supernumerary distomolar in the mandible. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in present-day populations is low, ranging from 0.1% to 3.4%; most ... -
