El consumo de papas fritas, que mundialmente crece generando grandes volúmenes de venta y que representa un negocio con perspectiva de seguir desarrollándose aún más, se ve violentamente amenazado a partir del momento en ...

Five copolymers were prepared by polymerization of azo-benzene methacrylate monomers in solution using AIBN as initiator. The mesophases were observed by a polarizing light microscope which showed tilted smectic C phases ...

The synthesis of a series of functionalized 1-Benzyl-3-[4-Aryl-1-piperazingl]carbonyl-1H-Indoles 6(a-f), as a potential new class of bioactive ligands at D4 receptors is reported. The synthetic strategy took place through ...

A new, sensitive, reproducible and easy-to-use flow-injection method for determining nifuroxazide based on adsorptive stripping linear sweep voltammetry over screen-printed carbon electrodes is presented. The presented ...

Soluble pure silicon or germanium-containing poly(amide)s and their metallic composites (Cu or Au) were synthesized and characterized. Optical band gaps of pure polymer were comparable to an insulator behavior; however, ...

Statins reduce the isoprenoids farnesyl and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, essential intermediates, which control a diversity of cellular events such as cytoskeleton integrity, adhesion, migration and viability. Cardiac ...

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activates an adaptive unfolded protein response (UPR) that facilitates cellular repair, however, under prolonged ER stress, the UPR can ultimately trigger apoptosis thereby terminating damaged ...

Regulatory T cells (Treg) are important in the development of immune tolerance under normal physiological conditions. However, in pathological situations such as cancer, Treg increases have been correlated with bad ...

The leading cause of death in diabetic patients is cardiovascular disease; diabetic cardiomyopathy is typified by alterations in cardiac morphology and function, independent of hypertension or coronary disease. However, ...
