Mechanisms of Toxicity of Ag Nanoparticles in Comparison to Bulk and Ionic Ag on Mussel Hemocytes and Gill Cells
(Public Library Science, 2015-06-10)
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are increasingly used in many products and are expected to end up in the aquatic environment. Mussels have been proposed as marine model species to evaluate NP toxicity in vitro. The objective ...
Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Sedentary Time during Childhood, Adolescence and Young Adulthood: A Cohort Study
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2013-04-23)
Background: To know how moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time change across lifespan periods is needed for designing successful lifestyle interventions. We aimed to study changes in objectively ...
Running Pace Decrease during a Marathon Is Positively Related to Blood Markers of Muscle Damage
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2013-02-27)
Background: Completing a marathon is one of the most challenging sports activities, yet the source of running fatigue during this event is not completely understood. The aim of this investigation was to determine the ...
DNA Damage and Transcriptional Changes in the Gills of Mytilus galloprovincialis Exposed to Nanomolar Doses of Combined Metal Salts (Cd, Cu, Hg)
(PloS ONE, 2013)
[ENG]Aiming at an integrated and mechanistic view of the early biological effects of selected metals in the marine sentinel
organism Mytilus galloprovincialis, we exposed mussels for 48 hours to 50, 100 and 200 nM solutions ...
Exploring Game Performance in the National Basketball Association Using Player Tracking Data
(Public Library Science, 2015-07-14)
Recent player tracking technology provides new information about basketball game performance. The aim of this study was to (i) compare the game performances of all-star and non all-star basketball players from the National ...
What Can the Brain Teach Us about Winemaking? An fMRI Study of Alcohol Level Preferences
(Public Library Science, 2015-03-18)
Over the last few decades, wine makers have been producing wines with a higher alcohol content, assuming that they are more appreciated by consumers. To test this hypothesis, we used functional magnetic imaging to compare ...
Pseudohypoparathyroidism Type Ib Associated with Novel Duplications in the GNAS Locus
(Public Library Science, 2015-02-24)
Context
Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b (PHP-Ib) is characterized by renal resistance to PTH (and, sometimes, a mild resistance to TSH) and absence of any features of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy. Patients with ...
Vascular endothelial growth factor regulates melanoma cell adhesion and growth in the bone marrow microenvironment via tumor cyclooxygenase-2
(BioMed Central, 2011-08)
Background: Human melanoma frequently colonizes bone marrow (BM) since its earliest stage of systemic dissemination, prior to clinical metastasis occurrence. However, how melanoma cell adhesion and proliferation mechanisms ...
Kv7 Channels Can Function without Constitutive Calmodulin Tethering
(Public Library of Science, 2011-09-28)
M-channels are voltage-gated potassium channels composed of Kv7.2-7.5 subunits that serve as important regulators of neuronal excitability. Calmodulin binding is required for Kv7 channel function and mutations in Kv7.2 ...
