A Polymer/Oil Based Nanovaccine as a Single-Dose Immunization Approach
(PLOS, 2013)
The recognized necessity for new antigen delivery carriers with the capacity to boost, modulate and prolong neutralizing immune responses prompted our approach, in which we describe a multifunctional nanocarrier consisting ...
Genetic enhancement of Ras-ERK pathway does not aggravate L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in mice but prevents the decrease induced by lovastatin
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
Increasing evidence supports a close relationship between Ras-ERK1/2 activation in the striatum and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). ERK1/2 activation by L-DOPA takes place through the crosstalk between D1R/AC/PKA/DARPP-32 ...
Improving zebrafish embryo xenotransplantation conditions by increasing incubation temperature and establishing a proliferation index with ZFtool
(Springer Nature, 2017)
Background
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a model organism that has emerged as a tool for cancer research, cancer being the second most common cause of death after cardiovascular disease for humans in the developed world. ...
Antioxidant PLA Composites Containing Lignin for 3D Printing Applications: A Potential Material for Healthcare Applications
(MDPI, 2019)
Lignin (LIG) is a natural biopolymer with well-known antioxidant capabilities. Accordingly, in the present work, a method to combine LIG with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) for fused filament fabrication applications (FFF) is ...
Natural and cross-inducible anti-SIV antibodies in Mauritian cynomolgus macaques
(PLOS, 2017)
Cynomolgus macaques are an increasingly important nonhuman primate model for HIV vaccine research. SIV-free animals without pre-existing anti-SIV immune responses are generally needed to evaluate the effect of vaccine-induced ...
Fingerprint-Based Machine Learning Approach to Identify Potent and Selective 5-HT2BR Ligands
(MDPI, 2018)
The identification of subtype-selective GPCR (G-protein coupled receptor) ligands is a challenging task. In this study, we developed a computational protocol to find compounds with 5-HT2BR versus 5-HT1BR selectivity. Our ...
Chitosan-Poly (I:C)-PADRE Based Nanoparticles as Delivery Vehicles for Synthetic Peptide Vaccines
(MDPI, 2015)
The safety and precision of peptide antigens has prompted the search for adjuvants capable of increasing the immune response against these intrinsically poorly immunogenic antigens. The integration of both immunostimulants ...
Editorial: Novel Approaches to the Neuropharmacology of Mood Disorders
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
Targeting PDE10A GAF Domain with Small Molecules: A Way for Allosteric Modulation with Anti-Inflammatory Effects
(MDPI, 2017)
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes regulate the levels of cyclic nucleotides, cAMP, and/or cGMP, being attractive therapeutic targets. In order to modulate PDE activity in a selective way, we focused our efforts on the search ...
Modeling the OEC with two new biomimetic models: preparations, structural characterization, and water photolysis studies of a Ba–Mn box type complex and a Mn4N6 Planar-diamond cluster
(MDPI, 2018)
The oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) is the native enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of water in natural photosynthesis. Two new classes of manganese cluster complexes of formula Ba2Mn2L12(H3L1)2(CH3OH)4 1 and Mn4L26Cl2 2 ...
