Gene expression analyses of gingival tissue of patients with periodontitis using public transcriptomic data
(2022-11)
Abstract—Periodontal disease (PD) is a multifactorial and chronic condition of infection and inflammation of the gingival tissue. However, many of the biological and molecular mechanisms regarding the development of this ...
A new method for the detection of phospholipase A2 variants: identification of isozymes in the venoms of newborn and adult Bothrops asper (terciopelo) snakes
(1988)
A new method for the identification of phospholipase A2 isozymes in snake venoms is described. The technique is based on the separation of the venom components by isoelectric focusing in agarose gels, transfer of the protein ...
Community richness of amphibian skin bacteria correlates with bioclimate at the global scale
(2019)
Animal-associated microbiomes are integral to host health, yet key biotic and abiotic factors that shape host-associated microbial communities at the global scale remain poorly understood. We investigated global patterns ...
Degenerative and regenerative changes in murine skeletal muscle after injection of venom from the snake Bothrops asper: a histochemical and immunocytochemical study.
(1991)
The degenerative and regenerative changes in murine skeletal muscle after injection of Bothrops asper venom were studied by histological, lectin histochemical and immunocytochemical techniques. According to our observations, ...
ENSO‐Influenced Drought Drives Methane Flux Dynamics in a Tropical Wet Forest Soil
(2019)
Global atmospheric methane growth rates have wildly fluctuated over the past three decades, which may be driven by the proportion of tropical land surface saturated by water. The El Niño/Southern Oscillation Event (ENSO) ...
Population Genomics Insights into Adaptive Evolution and Ecological Differentiation in Streptomycetes
(2019)
Deciphering the genomic variation that represents microevolutionary processes toward species divergence is key to understanding microbial speciation, which has long been under debate. Streptomycetes are filamentous bacteria ...
Phylogenetic analyses of antibiotic-producing Streptomyces sp. isolates obtained from the stingless-bee Tetragonisca angustula (Apidae: Meliponini)
(2019)
Many insects have been associated with actinobacteria in protective symbiosis where antimicrobial metabolites inhibit host pathogens. However, the microbiota of neotropical insects such as the stingless-bee Tetragonisca ...
Aging of biomixtures: Effects on carbofuran removal and microbial community structure
(2017)
The aim of this work was to determine the efficiency of a straw/compost/soil biomixture for pesticide depuration during its aging and continuous use, for a period of over a year, based on its capacity to remove carbofuran ...
Avances de la bioinformática en Costa Rica: Vista retrospectiva y perspectivas
Bioinformatics advances in Costa Rica: Retrospective view and perspectives
(2021-11-09)
Introducción: La disciplina científica de la bioinformática tiene el potencial de generar aplicaciones innovadoras para las sociedades humanas. Costa Rica, pequeña en tamaño y población en comparación con otros países de ...
Vector-borne pathogens in dogs from Costa Rica: First molecular description of Babesia vogeli and Hepatozoon canis infections with a high prevalence of monocytic ehrlichiosis and the manifestations of co-infection
(2014)
Infection with canine vector-borne pathogens was evaluated in dogs from four different
regions of Costa Rica by PCR. Demographic data, clinical signs, packed cell volume values,
and the presence of tick infestation were ...
