Neural tissue engineering is focused on the design of novel biocompatible substitutes to repair peripheral nerve injuries. In this paper we describe a nanostructured fibrin-agarose bioartificial… (More)
The first confirmed case of Rickettsia massiliae infection in the New World (Buenos Aires, Argentina) is described. To date, only two cases of human infection had been reported in Europe. The… (More)
Glutathione (GSH) plays an essential role in the metabolism of melanoma. As changes in intracellular GSH content can modify the processes of cell proliferation and detoxification, this could… (More)
Expression of determined Asn-bound glycans (N-glycans) in cell surface glycoproteins regulates different processes in tumour cell biology. Specific patterns of N-glycosylation are displayed by highly… (More)
In the clinical evolution of malign tumors, prognosis depends on whether metastasis develops or not. Biologically speaking, the formation of metastasis implies the existence of tumor cells capable of… (More)
Knowledge on the normal structure and molecular composition of the peripheral nerves is essential to understand their pathophysiology and to select the regeneration strategies after injury. However,… (More)
Highly metastatic cells are known to overexpress certain Asn-linked oligosaccharides in the plasmatic membrane. Another phenotypic characteristic of malignant cells consists in the expression of high… (More)
We describe a novel wound dressing (HR006) with two components: a lyophilized matrix of the galactomannan from locust bean gum (LBG) and an antioxidant hydration solution (AHsol) containing curcumin… (More)
We designed a protocol for cell labeling with the lectin wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) linked to the fluorochrome tetramethyl-rhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) for effective detection of the B16F10… (More)
INTRODUCTION
Stroke represents an attractive target for cell therapy. Although different types of cells have been employed in animal models with variable results, the human adipose-derived stem cells… (More)
