Metabolomic Analysis Points to Bioactive Lipid Species and Acireductone Dioxygenase 1 (ADI1) as Potential Therapeutic Targets in Poor Prognosis Endometrial Cancer
(MDPI, 2022)Metabolomic profiling analysis has the potential to highlight new molecules and cellular pathways that may serve as potential therapeutic targets for disease treatment. In this study, we used an LC-MS/MS platform to define, ... -
Enhancing Night and Day Circadian Contrast through Sleep Education in Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(MDPI, 2022)Background: Evidence supports a causal relationship between circadian disturbance and impaired glucose homeostasis. Methods: To determine the effect of an educational intervention delivered by primary care nurses to ... -
Post-Translational Modifications of PCNA: Guiding for the Best DNA Damage Tolerance Choice
(MDPI, 2022)The sliding clamp PCNA is a multifunctional homotrimer mainly linked to DNA replication. During this process, cells must ensure an accurate and complete genome replication when constantly challenged by the presence of DNA ... -
Beyond the Glycaemic Control of Dapagliflozin: Impact on Arterial Stiffness and Macroangiopathy
(Springer Nature, 2022)Dapagliflozin is a selective sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and chronic kidney disease. In all ... -
Psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version
(Springer Nature, 2022)The current study examined the psychometric properties (factor structure, reliability and validity) of the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV; Forth et al., 2003) in Spanish samples of male justice-involved youths ... -
Presence of Blastocystis in gut microbiota is associated with cognitive traits and decreased executive function
(Springer Nature, 2022)Growing evidence implicates the gut microbiome in cognition. Blastocystis is a common gut single-cell eukaryote parasite frequently detected in humans but its potential involvement in human pathophysiology has been poorly ... -
Variations in Litterfall Dynamics, C:N:P Stoichiometry and Associated Nutrient Return in Pure and Mixed Stands of Camphor Tree and Masson Pine Forests
(Frontiers Media, 2022)Litterfall, directly and indirectly, affects the soil physicochemical properties, microbial activity, and diversity of soil fauna and flora by adding organic matter and nutrients to the soil. This study explores litterfall ... -
Genistein effect on cognition in prodromal Alzheimer's disease patients. The GENIAL clinical trial
(BMC, 2022)Background: Delaying the transition from minimal cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s dementia is a major concern in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) therapeutics. Pathological signs of AD occur years before the onset of clinical ... -
Contribution of Surrounding Flowering Plants to Reduce Abundance of Aphis nerii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Oleanders (Nerium oleander L.)
(MDPI, 2022)Oleander is very frequently planted as an ornamental shrub in urban areas of the Mediterranean. Its most common pest is the aphid Aphis nerii, and heavy infestations produce aesthetic damage and disturbances to the citizens, ... -
Forest fire threatens global carbon sinks and population centres under rising atmospheric water demand
(Nature Research, 2022)Levels of fire activity and severity that are unprecedented in the instrumental record have recently been observed in forested regions around the world. Using a large sample of daily fire events and hourly climate data, ... -
Comparative performance of barley and wheat across a wide range of yielding conditions. Does barley outyield wheat consistently in low-yielding conditions?
(Elsevier, 2023)There is a generalised belief that barley is more resilient to stress than wheat. Consequently, land allocation to wheat and barley is based on a presumed differential sensitivity to stresses between these species. Previous ... -
Diabetic retinopathy predicts cardiovascular disease independently of subclinical atherosclerosis in individuals with type 2 diabetes: A prospective cohort study
(Frontiers, 2022)Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and preclinical atherosclerosis are associated with higher cardiovascular risk. However, no studies have investigated the predictive role of DR and preclinical atherosclerosis jointly ... -
Evolution of an Iron-Detoxifying Protein: Eukaryotic and Rickettsia Frataxins Contain a Conserved Site Which Is Not Present in Their Bacterial Homologues
(MDPI, 2022)Friedreich’s ataxia is a neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the frataxin gene. Frataxin homologues, including bacterial CyaY proteins, can be found in most species and play a fundamental role in mitochondrial ... -

Blood-based lipidomic signature of severe obstructive sleep apnoea in Alzheimer's disease
(BCM, 2022)Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the most frequent form of sleep-disordered breathing in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Available evidence demonstrates that both conditions are independently associated ... -
A 'Wiring Diagram' for sink-strength traits impacting wheat yield potential
(Oxford University Press, 2022-11-08)Identifying traits for improving sink-strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The interacting processes determining sink-strength and yield potential are reviewed and visualized in a set of 'Wiring Diagrams', ... -
