Expression of Wnt9, TCTP, and Bmp1/Tll in Sea Cucumber Visceral Regeneration.
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-01)
We employ non-radioactive in situ hybridization techniques, which combine good tissue morphology preservation with high sensitivity of transcript detection, to map gene expression in the regenerating digestive tube of the ...
Biophysical and Ion Channel Functional Characterization of the Torpedo Californica Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor in Varying Detergent-Lipid Environments
(Springer-Verlag, 2009-05-01)
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) of Torpedo electric rays has been extensively characterized over the last three decades. However, the molecular mechanisms by which detergents influence membrane protein stability ...
Effects of Lipid-Analog Detergent Solubilization on the Functionality and Lipidic Cubic Phase Mobility of the Torpedo Californica Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor
(Springer International Publishing AG. Part of Springer Nature., 2011-10)
Over the past three decades, the Torpedo californica nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) has been one of the most extensively studied membrane protein systems. However, the effects of detergent solubilization on nAChR ...
Factors Affecting Establishment Success of the Endangered Caribbean Cactus Harrisia Portoricensis (Cactaceae)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2011-11-23)
Early plant stages may be the most vulnerable within the life cycle of plants especially in arid ecosys-tems. Interference from exotic species may exacerbate this condition. We evaluated germination, seedling sur-vival and ...
Patients’ report on how endometriosis affects health, work, and daily life
(Elsevier, 2010-05)
The objective of this study was to assess the burden of endometriosis by obtaining Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) data describing the experience of living with this disease. Survey data from one hundred and seven women ...
Decoding Pathogenesis of Slow-Channel Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes using Recombinant Expression and Mice Models
(Puerto Rico Health Sciences Journal, 2010-08-27)
Despite the fact that they are orphan diseases, congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) challenge
those who suffer from it by causing fatigable muscle weakness, in the most benign cases, to a
progressive wasting of muscles ...
Quantum cascade laser (QCL) spectroscopy, explosives detection, classical least squares (CLS), cotton fabrics, discriminant analysis (DA), highly energetic materials (HEMs)
(2017)
Quantum cascade laser spectroscopy was used to detect the presence of residues of highly energetic materials (HEMs) on cotton fibers. The discrimination of the vibrational signals of HEMs from a highly mid-infrared (MIR) ...
Effect of paricalcitol and enalapril on renal inflammation/oxidative stress in atherosclerosis
(Baishideng Publishing Group, 2015-08-26)
AIM: To investigate the protective effect of paricalcitol and enalapril on renal inflammation and oxidative stress in ApoE-knock out mice.
Importance of vitamin D and vitamin D levels status in Puerto Ricans
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2013-11)
There is growing and compelling evidence demonstrating the extra-skeletal role of vitamin D and the importance of maintaining adequate levels of this nutrient. Currently, there is very limited information available on the ...
Early-onset of sporadic basal-cell carcinoma: Germline mutations in the TP53, PTCH, and XPD genes
(University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus, 2007-12)
Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common non-melanoma skin cancer in the Western world. The objective of this study was to examine together germline mutations in the TP53, PTCH, and XPD genes as risk ...
