Soil microbial processes in a pine silvopastoral system in NW Patagonia
(2018-02)
The conversion of native vegetation to tree plantation (afforestation) implies a drastic change in life forms and as a consequence, changes in the microenvironmental conditions, and the quantity and quality of organic ...
Evaluation of the design effects of different agropastoral systems on the diversity and density of spiders
(Spanish National Institute for Agriculture and Food Research and Technology, 2017-03)
Sustainable agro-ecological design is challenging when the goal is self-regulation of the system. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the agropastoral design system affects the spider community, as spiders are ...
Carbon-substrate utilization profiles by Cladorrhinum (Ascomycota)Perfiles de utilización de sustratos carbonados de Cladorrhinum (Ascomycota)
(Asociación Argentina de Microbiología, 2019-10-10)
Los hongos del género Cladorrhinum (Ascomycota) son agentes prometedores en el biocontrol de fitopatógenos, la promoción del crecimiento de las plantas y la producción de enzimas con aplicación tecnológica. En este trabajo ...
Three-dimensional temperature fields of the North Patagonian Sea recorded by Magellanic penguins as biological sampling platforms
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-04)
Temperature is a primary determinant of biogeographic patterns and ecosystem processes. Standard techniques to study the ocean temperature in situ are, however, particularly limited by their time and spatial coverage, ...
Load-induced modulation of signal transduction networks
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2011-10)
Biological signal transduction networks are commonly viewed as circuits that pass along information—in the process amplifying signals, enhancing sensitivity, or performing other signal-processing tasks—to transcriptional ...
The Genetic Epidemiology of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Toward a Personalized Medicine
(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2012-08)
The understanding of the genetic bases of complex diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease opens new opportunities and challenges. This article explores new tools designed toward moving genomic data into clinical ...
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis pharmacotherapy and predictors of response: dual role of aminotransferases as biosensors of metabolism and biomarkers of histological improvement
(AME Publishing Company, 2019-08)
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)—the severe histological form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)—is regarded as a major health problem worldwide (1,2). The disease can progress to liver cirrhosis and eventually ...
PNPLA3, the history of an orphan gene of the potato tuber protein family that found an organ: the liver
(Wiley, 2014-06)
The patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 gene (PNPLA3) was an orphan gene looking for a disease until 2008 when the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) showed ...
Soil microbial functionality in response to the inclusion of cover crop mixtures in agricultural systems
(2016)
Agricultural systems where monoculture prevails are characterized by fertility losses and reduced contribution to ecosystem services. Including cover crops (CC) as part of an agricultural system is a promising choice in ...
Exploring gene networks in two sunflower lines with contrasting leaf senescence phenotype using a system biology approach
(BioMed Central, 2019-10-24)
Background: Leaf senescence is a complex process, controlled by multiple genetic and environmental variables. In sunflower, leaf senescence is triggered abruptly following anthesis thereby limiting the capacity of plants ...
