MYC dosage compensation is mediated by miRNA-transcription factor interactions in aneuploid cancer
(2021-12-17)
We hypothesize that dosage compensation of critical genes arises from systems-
level properties for cancer cells to withstand the negative effects of aneuploidy.
We identified several candidate genes in cancer multiomics ...
Antivenomics: a proteomics tool for studying the immunoreactivity of antivenoms
(2015-03)
Envenoming following snakebite is largely a neglected threat to public health in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania addicting some of the world’s poorest rural communities. An ...
Nickel Biosorption by Acinetobacter Baumannii and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Industrial Wastewater
Bioadsorção de niquel por Acinetobacter baumannii e Pseudomonas aeruginosa isoladas de águas residuais industriais
(2006-12)
Nickel biosorption ability was evaluated in two bacterial strains: Acinetobacter baumannii UCR-2971 and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa UCR-2957, resulting in greatest adsorption at pH 4.5 and a residence time of 100
minutes. ...
DNase activity in Costa Rican crotaline snake venoms: quantification of activity and identification of electrophoretic variants.
(1991)
DNase activity of Costa Rican crotaline snake venoms from the genera Bothrops, Crotalus and Lachesis was quantified by an enzymodiffusion method on agarose/DNA gels containing ethidium bromide. The reaction is detected as ...
Genetic, dietary, and other lifestyle determinants of serum homocysteine levels in young adults in Costa Rica
Factores genéticos y alimentarios y otros aspectos del estilo de vida que determinan las concentraciones séricas de homocisteína en adultos jóvenes en Costa Rica
(2005)
Objective: Elevated serum total homocysteine (tHcy) is considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to develop the first-ever information on the prevalence of ...
