Feasibility of compensatory growth in early juveniles of "red claw" crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus under high density conditions
(Elsevier Science, 2019-06)
The aim of this work is to study the feasibility to induce compensatory growth in Cherax quaricarinatus crayfish at an early stage of development under high density, the typical conditions of nursery phase. An advantageous ...
Compensatory mechanisms during development contribute to overcome intraspecific competition in a dipteran solitary ectoparasitoid with larval active host seeking behaviour
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-11)
1. Superparasitism has been rendered many times as detrimental for fitness, although there are examples in which the competing winning larvae compensate for its development. Here, we studied if, in the host-parasitoid ...
Physiognomic changes in response to herbivory increase carbon allocation to roots in a temperate grassland of central Argentina
(Springer, 2019-08)
In most temperate grasslands, cattle grazing can promote physiognomic changes on plant communities, as well as changes in species growth patterns. Through these changes in vegetation, cattle grazing can generate changes ...
Marginal zone B cells emerge as a critical component of pregnancy well-being
(BioScientifica, 2015-10)
The success of eutherian mammal evolution was certainly supported by the ability of the already existing immune system to adapt to the presence of the semi-allogeneic fetus without losing the capability to defend the mother ...
Impaired endocrine-metabolic homeostasis: Underlying mechanism of its induction by unbalanced diet
(Portland Press, 2018-04)
To characterize the intrinsic mechanism by which sucrose induces β-cell dysfunction. Normal rats received for 3 weeks a standard diet supplemented with 10% sucrose in the drinking water (high sucrose (HS)) with/out an ...
Current understanding of RAD52 functions: Fundamental and therapeutic insights
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2020-03)
In this Special Issue, we would like to focus on the various functions of the RAD52 helicase-like protein and the current implications of such findings for cancer treatment. Over the last few years, various laboratories ...
Latitudinal comparison of the thermal biology in the endemic lizard Liolaemus multimaculatus
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
Thermoregulation in ectotherms may be modulated by climatic variability across geographic gradients. Environmental temperature varies along latitudinal clines resulting in heterogeneous thermal resource availability, which ...
Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid phosphoprotein N variations in the binding site to human 14-3-3 proteins
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2021-09)
The SARS-CoV-2 N protein binds several cell host proteins including 14-3-3g, a well-characterized regulatory protein. However, the biological function of this interaction is not completely understood. We analyzed the ...
Angiotensin II-induced dilated cardiomyopathy in Balb/c but not C57BL/6J mice
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-08)
Balb/c mice, which are T-helper lymphocyte 2 (Th2) responders, are highly susceptible to infectious and non-infectious heart diseases, whereas C57BL/6 mice (Th1 responders) are not. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is not only a ...
Hypermutator pseudomonas aeruginosa exploits multiple genetic pathways to develop multidrug resistance during long-term infections in the airways of cystic fibrosis patients
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019-10)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa exploits intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms to resist almost every antibiotic used in chemotherapy. Antimicrobial resistance in P. aeruginosa isolates recovered from cystic fibrosis (CF) ...
