Identification of Modules With Similar Gene Regulation and Metabolic Functions Based on Co-expression Data
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019)Biological systems respond to environmental perturbations and to a large diversity of compounds through gene interactions, and these genetic factors comprise complex networks. In particular, a wide variety of gene co-expression ... -
Implications of Selective Autophagy Dysfunction for ALS Pathology
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-02)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a lethal neurodegenerative disorder that progressively affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Due to the biological complexity of the disease, its etiology remains unknown. ... -
Improved ontology for eukaryotic single-exon coding sequences in biological databases
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018)Efficient extraction of knowledge from biological data requires the development of structured vocabularies to unambiguously define biological terms. This paper proposes descriptions and definitions to disambiguate the term ... -
In vitropropagation ofLeptocarpha rivularis, a native medicinal plant
(Springer New York, 2020-12)Leptocarpha rivularis, commonly known as "palo negro", is a species of the Astereaceae family, endemic in the forests of Southern Chile. The extracts of this plant have medicinal properties attributable to its secondary ... -
Influence of mobile genetic elements and insertion sequences in long- and short-term adaptive processes of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strains
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-07-05)The recent revision of the Acidithiobacillia class using genomic taxonomy methods has shown that, in addition to the existence of previously unrecognized genera and species, some species of the class harbor levels of ... -
Inhibitory effect of serotype a of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans on the increased destructive potential of serotype b
(WILEY, 2020)Objective The serotype b of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) induces higher cytokine production in dendritic cells (DCs) compared with the other serotypes. However, this increased immunostimulatory ... -
Insights into early evolutionary adaptations of the Akkermansia genus to the vertebrate gut
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2023-09-14)Akkermansia, a relevant mucin degrader from the vertebrate gut microbiota, is a member of the deeply branched Verrucomicrobiota, as well as the only known member of this phylum to be described as inhabitants of the gut. ... -
Interfering with the Folding of Group A Streptococcal pili Proteins
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020-05-20)Gram-positive bacteria use their adhesive pili to attach to host cells during early stages of a bacterial infection. These extracellular hair-like appendages experience mechanical stresses of hundreds of picoNewtons; ... -
Interleukin-35 inhibits alveolar bone resorption by modulating the Th17/Treg imbalance during periodontitis
(Blackwell Munksgaard, 2020-04)Aim T lymphocytes play a central role during the pathogenesis of periodontitis, and the imbalance between the pathogenic T-helper type 17 (Th17) and protective T-regulatory (Treg) lymphocytes determines the tooth-supporting ... -
Intermediate-Salinity Systems at High Altitudes in the Peruvian Andes Unveil a High Diversity and Abundance of Bacteria and Viruses
(MDPI, 2019)Intermediate-salinity environments are distributed around the world. Here, we present a snapshot characterization of two Peruvian thalassohaline environments at high altitude, Maras and Acos, which provide an excellent ... -
Levels of low-molecular-weight hyaluronan in periodontitis-treated patients and its immunostimulatory effects on CD4+ T lymphocytes
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2021-02-26)Objectives During periodontitis, chronic inflammation triggers soft tissue breakdown, and hyaluronan is degraded into fragments of low molecular weight (LMW-HA). This investigation aimed to elucidate whether LMW-HA fragments ... -
Metabolite Fruit Profile Is Altered in Response to Source-Sink Imbalance and Can Be Used as an Early Predictor of Fruit Quality in Nectarine
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-01-08)Peaches and nectarines [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] are among the most exported fresh fruit from Chile to the Northern Hemisphere. Fruit acceptance by final consumers is defined by quality parameters such as the size, ... -
MicroRNA Profiling and Bioinformatics Target Analysis in Dorsal Hippocampus of Chronically Stressed Rats: Relevance to Depression Pathophysiology
