Trans-sialidases (TS) are important constitutive macromolecules of the secretome present on the surface of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) that play a central role as a virulence factor in Chagas disease. These enzymes have been related to infectivity, escape from immune surveillance and path-ogenesis exhibited by this protozoan parasite. In this work...
Continuous improvements in morphological and histochemical analyses of Apis mellifera could improve our understanding of the anatomy and physiology of these insects at both the cellular and tissue level. In this work, two different approaches have been performed to add new data on the abdomen of worker bees: (i) Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT)...
The shell of the cephalopod Argonauta consists of two layers of fibers that elongate perpendicular to the shell surfaces. Fibers have a high-Mg calcitic core sheathed by thin organic membranes (>100 nm), and configurate a polygonal network in cross-section. Their evolution has been studied by serial sectioning with electron microscopy-associated te...
Micro-CT analysis is employed for the first time to evaluate the effects of bioturbation on porosity distribution in contourite facies, namely: i) sandy clastic contourites from the Late Miocene Moroccan Rifian Corridor; and ii) dominant-calcareous contourites from Eocene- Middle Miocene Cyprus paleoslope. Porosity distribution is affected by biotu...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small lipid vesicles released by either any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell, or both, with a biological role in cell-to-cell communication. In this work, we characterize the proteomes and nanomechanical properties of EVs released by tissue-culture cell-derived trypomastigotes (mammalian infective stage; (TCT)) and ep...
The vesicular microstructure is a very distinctive arrangement of calcite, consisting of hollow cavities (vesicles) of diverse sizes and shapes, usually elongated in the direction of shell thickening. It is uniquely found among living bivalves in a single oyster family, Gryphaeidae. The vesicles are distributed in lenses interleaved with compact fo...
Acanthamoeba is a genus of free-living amoebae widely distributed in nature, associated with the development of encephalitis and keratitis. Despite the fact that it is common to find genotype T5 in environmental samples, only a few cases have been associated with clinical cases in humans. The wide distribution of Acanthamoeba, the characteristic of...
DNA molecules containing a 1D silver array may be applied for nanotechnology applications, but first their conducting and photoluminescence behavior must be enhanced. Here we have synthesized and characterized three new helical compounds based on stacked silver-mediated cytosine base pairs [Ag(mC)2]X (mC = N1-methylcytosine; X = NO3 (1), BF4 (2) an...

The highly porous and robust [Ni(8)(OH)(4)(OH(2))(2)(4,4'-(buta-1,3-diyne-1,4-diyl)bispyrazolato)(6)](n) MOF can be used as a proof of concept for the incorporation and release of the non-conventional [Ru(p-cymene)Cl(2)(pta)] RAPTA-C metallodrug.
In this communication, a series of observations and data analyses coherently confirms the suitability of the novel metal-organic framework (MOF) [Zn(4)(μ(4)-O)(μ(4)-4-carboxy-3,5-dimethyl-4-carboxy-pyrazolato)(3)] (1) in the capture of harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is worthy of attention that 1, whose crystal structure resembles tha...
Temperature matters! The separation efficiency of complex mixtures of gases (acetylene, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen) and vapors (benzene, cyclohex-ane) by adsorption on A[Cu3(μ3-OH) (μ3-4-carboxypyrazolato)3] (A@1) metal-organic frameworks depends on temperature and the extraframework cation A (see picture). NH4@1 also behaves as an oxidation...
Tetranuclear cationic open boxes non-covalently bind DNA major groove. By contrast, they covalently bind cysteine after ligand exchange reactions. In addition, these systems exhibit potent antitumour activity circumventing cisplatin resistance.
In the title compound, C(10)H(10)N(4)O(4)·0.5H(2)O, the two rings of the pteridine system are nearly coplanar [dihedral angle = 4.25 (9)°]. The atoms of the carboxyl group are also coplanar with the pteridine unit [r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane of the pteridine skeleton = 0.092 (2) Å]. In the crystal, the presence of the water molecule of cr...

The reaction of [(cymene)RuCl(2)](2) with K(2)Hoxonate (H(3)oxonic = 4,6-dihydroxy-2-carboxy-1,3,5-triazine acid) in methanol leads to the formation of the dinuclear half-sandwich ruthenium(II) complex [(cymene)(2)Ru(2)(mu-Hoxonato)Cl(2)] (1a). Removal of the chloride ligands of 1a by treatment with AgCF(3)SO(3) yields [(cymene)(2)Ru(2)(mu-Hoxonato...
Rearing blackspot seabream has been associated with low growth rates and excessive lipid accumulation, resulting in a reduction of the edible yield. The effect of extruded diets containing different carbohydrate sources (wheat vs. wheat bran) was evaluated on 100 g blackspot seabream growth performance, feed utilization and fat deposition, taking i...
