The tuco-tucos (Ctenomys) are South American subterranean rodents that are some of the most chromosomally variable of all mammals. In this study we focus on Ctenomys of the "Corrientes species group"… (More)
Synaptic behaviour and the progression of morphological differentiation of the XY chromosome pair during pachytene was studied for the first time in three species of the South American subterranean… (More)
The most frequent and malignant brain cancer is glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). In gliomas, tumor progression and poor prognosis are associated with the tumorigenic ability of the cells. U87MG cells… (More)
Gliomas account for more than 60 % of all primary central nervous system neoplasms. Low-grade gliomas display a tendency to progress to more malignant phenotypes and the most frequent and malignant… (More)
Here we provide the first detailed description of the hybrid zone between the Cremona chromosomal race of house mouse (ICRE; 2n = 22) and the standard all-telocentric race (40ST; 2n = 40), with full… (More)
SUMMARY
Early virological response may predict outcome following treatment with peginterferon alpha-2a and ribavirin in patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). As total HCV core… (More)
Transient elastography (TE) is the reference method to obtain liver stiffness measurements (LSM), but no results are obtained in 3.1% and unreliable in 15.8%. We assessed the applicability and… (More)
Proteomic approaches have been useful for the identification of aberrantly expressed proteins in complex diseases such as cancer. These proteins are not only potential disease biomarkers, but also… (More)
Since its discovery in 1999, a number of studies have evaluated the role of Nox1 NADPH oxidase in the cardiovascular system. Nox1 is activated in vascular cells in response to several different… (More)
Previously, we reported that nucleophosmin (NPM) was increased in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). NPM is a phosphoprotein related to apoptosis, ribosome biogenesis, mitosis, and DNA repair, but… (More)
