Nuclear membrane diversity
Although it is obvious that every tissue in our bodies is different, the vast majority of scientific research is done on a small number of cancer cell lines studying individual cells grown in dishes — for example
Person centered progressive resistance exercise for women with fibromyalgia
Muscle strength in women with fibromyalgia (FM) is reduced compared to healthy women and a reason for this might be a low level of physical activity at such intensity that is required to maintain or improve muscle
Is it possible reversible and irreversible aggregation of proteins?
The discovery of protein chain regions responsible for protein aggregation is an important result of studying of the molecular mechanisms of prion diseases, and different proteinopathies associated with the formation of pathological aggregations through the prion mechanism.
Human centromeric DNA is able to form quadruplex helices
The classical view of a chromosome that most of people have in mind is a cross-shaped figure, something like the letter X. Chromosomes look indeed like that when the cell is ready to divide and give rise
How to know transcription factors by the company they keep
The ENCODE project is a massive data-collection effort set out to understand the function of the human genome. The collection comprises many types of genomic data, including the localization of transcription factors onto DNA. Transcription factors are
Allergy: the latest technology in vitro in the service of an appropriate diagnosis
The countless and various allergen sources from both the plant kingdom is to the animal kingdom constantly stimulate our immune system.So the allergy diagnostics laboratory is evolving using new technologies such as molecular biology, nanotechnology to highlight
Cerium loading into Zr-Metal Organic Frameworks, a new strategy for redox catalysis
Porous solids are a class of material with high scientific and technological significance. Porosity permits molecules to access the surface and the bulk of the solid. MOFs or Metal-Organic Frameworks are hybrid organic/inorganic materials that are the
The infusion of haematopoietic stem cells in patients with liver insufficiency
Cirrhosis, the end result of long-term liver damage, and its related morbidity represnt a significant burden on health care worldwide. Liver transplantation is the only definitive therapeutic option for those patients. However, the paucity of donors, the incidence
What type of immune responses are needed to control HIV infection?
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection can be controlled by antiretroviral therapy (ART) for long periods of time, preventing the development of HIV-induced immunodeficiency and AIDS. However, HIV-1 infection cannot be eradicated from immune cells by ART and
