Water quality effects of intermittent water supply in Arraiján, Panama
(2017-05-01)
Intermittent drinking water supply is common in low- and middle-income countries throughout the world and can cause waterquality to degrade in the distribution system.In this study,we characterized waterquality in one study ...
α-Synuclein misfolding versus aggregation relevance to Parkinson’s disease: Critical assessment and modeling
(2015-06-01)
α-Synuclein, an abundant and conserved presynaptic brain protein, is implicated as a critical factor in
Parkinson’s disease (PD). The aggregation of α-synuclein isbelieved to be a critical event in the isease process. ...
Host affinity of endophytic fungi and the potential for reciprocal interactions involving host secondary chemistry
(2019-11-23)
PREMISE: Interactions between fungal endophytes and their host plants present useful systems for identifying important factors affecting assembly of host-associated microbiomes. Here we investigated the role of secondary ...
Amplified fragment length polymorphisms reveals high intraspecific variability in field isolates of Leishmania panamensis
(2011-04-01)
Leishmania parasites cause leishmaniasis, a potentially deadly re-emergent disease that affects millions throughout the world. In Panama, the disease is showing an increasing trend, with estimates of thousands of new cases ...
DNA Repair Mechanisms as Drug Targets in Prokaryotes
(2011-07-01)
Nowadays, a great amount of pathogenic bacteria has been identified such as Mycobacterium sp. and Helicobacter pylori and have become a serious health problem around the world. These bacteria have developed several DNA ...
I. eaf Litter and Leaf Age as Factors Affecting the Assemblage of Endophytes Associated with
(2006-08-01)
Particular importance has been given to the potential effect of forest canopy on enhancing the rate of initial endophytic fungi colonization of seedlings. Here we compare the rate of endophyte accumulation when endophyte-free ...
Influencias del paisaje, climatología y manejo agrícola sobre la biodiversidad asociada a viña: efectos sobre servicios ecosistémicos y sostenibilidad frente a cambio global (Proyecto BA C O)
(2016-11-01)
Dentro de un contexto dominado por el cambio rápido y frecuente, es básico analizar sus efectos sobre la biodiversidad y los servicios ecosistémicos que ésta provee. El cultivo de la viña es uno de los sistemas agrícolas ...
Habitat disturbance and the organization of bacterial communities in Neotropical hematophagous arthropods
(2019-09-06)
The microbiome plays a key role in the biology, ecology and evolution of arthropod vectors of human pathogens. Vector-bacterial interactions could alter disease transmission dynamics through modulating pathogen replication ...
A Pseudopterane Diterpene Isolated From the Octocoral Pseudopterogorgia acerosa Inhibits the Inflammatory Response Mediated by TLR-Ligands and TNF-Alpha in Macrophages
(2013-12-16)
Several diterpenoids isolated from terrestrial and marine environments have been identified as important anti-inflammatory agents. Although considerable progress has been made in the area of anti-inflammatory treatment, ...
