Relationship between empathy and the big five personality traits in a sample of Spanish adolescents
(Society for Personality Research, 2004)Empathy has been considered a central feature of our temperamental dispositions in childhood and adolescence. It plays a central role in the development of prosocial behavior and moral reasoning. However, the links between ... -
Predictive Reconstruction of the Mitochondrial Iron-Sulfur Cluster Assembly Metabolism. II. Role of Glutaredoxin Grx5
(John Wiley & Sons, 2004)Grx5 is a Saccharomyces cerevi- siae glutaredoxin involved in iron-sulfur cluster (FeSC) biogenesis. Previous work suggests that Grx5 is involved in regulating protein cysteine glutathio- nylation, prompting several ... -
Nuclear monothiol glutaredoxins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can function as mitochondrial glutaredoxins
(The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004)Glutaredoxins are thiol oxidoreductases that regulate protein redox state. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Grx1 and Grx2 are cytosolic dithiol glutaredoxins, whereas Grx3, Grx4, and Grx5 are monothiol glutaredoxins. ... -
Caspase 8/10 are not mediating apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells treated with CDK inhibitory drugs
(Elsevier, 2005)Olomoucine and Roscovitine are pharmacological inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) displaying a promising profile as anticancer agents. Both compounds are effective inductors of apoptosis in a human neuroblastoma ... -
The cell cycle–regulated genes of schizosaccharomyces pombe
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2005)Many genes are regulated as an innate part of the eukaryotic cell cycle, and a complex transcriptional network helps enable the cyclic behavior of dividing cells. This transcriptional network has been studied in Saccharomyces ... -
Spindle-independent condensation-mediated segregation of yeast ribosomal DNA in late anaphase
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2005)Mitotic cell division involves the equal segregation of all chromosomes during anaphase. The presence of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats on the right arm of chromosome XII makes it the longest in the budding yeast genome. ... -
Development of neurons and fibers containing calcium binding proteins in the pallial amygdala of mouse, with special emphasis on those of the basolateral amygdalar complex
(Wiley, 2005)We studied the development of neurons and fibers containing calbindin, calretinin, and parvalbumin in the mouse pallial amygdala, with special emphasis on those of the basolateral amygdalar complex. Numerous calbindin-im ... -
Distribution of nitric oxide-producing neurons in the developing and adult mouse amygdalar basolateral complex
(Elsevier, 2005)We analysed the expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the mouse amygdalar basolateral complex (BLC) from embryonic day 15.5 to adult, using standard immunohistochemical methods. Our results indicate that ... -
Thyroid hormones directly activate the expression of the human and mouse uncoupling protein-3 genes through a thyroid response element in the proximal promoter region
(Portland Press, 2005)The transcription of the human UCP3 (uncoupling protein-3) gene in skeletal muscle is tightly regulated by metabolic signals related to fatty acid availability. However, changes in thyroid status also modulate UCP3 gene ... -
Evolutionary relationships between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other fungal species as determined from genome comparisons
(Elsevier España, 2005)The increasing number of fungal genomes whose sequence has been completed permits their comparison both at the nucleotide and protein levels. The informa- tion thus obtained improves our knowledge on evolutionary ... -
Expression patterns of developmental regulatory genes show comparable divisions in the telencephalon of Xenopus and mouse: insights into the evolution of the forebrain
(Elsevier, 2005)In this study, we review data on the existence of comparable divisions and subdivisions in the telencephalon of different groups of tetrapods based on expression of some developmental regulatory genes, having a particular ... -
Embryonic and postnatal development of GABA, calbindin, calretinin, and parvalbumin in the mouse claustral complex
(Wiley, 2005)We analyzed the development of immunoreactive expression patterns for the neurotransmitter -aminobutyric acid (GABA) and the calcium-binding proteins calbindin, calretinin, and parvalbumin in the embryonic and postnatal ... -
Pkc1 and the upstream elements of the cell integrity pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rom2 and Mtl1, are required for cellular responses to oxidative stress
(The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2005)In this study we analyze the participation of the PKC1-MAPK cell integrity pathway in cellular re- sponses to oxidative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Evidence is presented demonstrating that only Pkc1 and the ... -
Proteins in human brain cortex are modified by oxidation, glycoxidation and lipoxidation: effects of Alzheimer's disease and identification of lipoxidation targets.
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Elsevier, 2005)Diverse oxidative pathways, such as direct oxidation of amino acids, glycoxidation, and lipoxidation could contribute to Alzheimer disease pathogenesis. A global survey for the amount of structurally characterized probes ... -
Inmigración y formación continuada en el colectivo de enfermería de la región sanitaria de Lleida
(Consejo de Enfermería de la Comunidad Valenciana, 2006)El aumento significativo de la inmigración en los últimos años supone un nuevo reto para la enfermería. Objetivos: conocer la situación actual de la formación de enfermería respecto a la inmigración, su interés por formarse ... -
7-Bromoindirubin-3'-oxime induces caspase-independent cell death
(Nature Publishing Group, 2006)Indirubin, an isomer of indigo, is a reported inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) as well as an agonist of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Indirubin is the active ... -
(R)-roscovitine (CYC202, Seliciclib) sensitizes SH-SY5Y neuroblastorna cells to nutlin-3-induced apoptosis
(Elsevier, 2006)In this study, we have analyzed the consequences, on several neuroblastoma cell lines, of combined treatments with (R)-roscovitine (CYC202, Seliciclib), a CDK inhibitory drug, and nutlin-3, a p53 activating drug. Both ... -
Univariate Parametric Survival Analysis using GS-distributions
(Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya (Idescat), 2006)The GS-distribution is a family of distributions that provide an accurate representation of any unimodal univariate continuous distribution. In this contribution we explore the utility of this family as a general model in ... -
