Molecular aspects on Herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA replication and gene expression
(2017-12-22)
Herpesviruses infect a variety of animals from molluscs to humans and they have evolved in a close relationship with their hosts. In humans, we find nine herpesviruses, representing all three subfamilies of the family ...
Helicobacter spp. interactions with mucins: adhesion and mucin regulation of pathogen proliferation and gene expression
(2014-02-10)
Helicobacter pylori colonizes the gastric mucosa of approximately half of the world’s population and is a risk factor for gastritis, peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. H. pylori is surrounded by, and adheres to, the heavily ...
Epigenetic regulation of gene expression in the vascular endothelium
(2016-05-12)
Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, constitute one way for a cell or an organism to respond to changes in the surrounding
environment. While histone modifications are recognized to ...
Glycine receptors in the central nervous system - development, distribution and relation to actions of alcohol
(2012-11-14)
The widespread consumption of alcohol and the great socioeconomic impact of alcohol abuse and addiction have contributed to the extensive investigations of this substance. Despite great efforts there is still uncertainty ...
A methodological platform to study molecular biocompatibility of biomaterials. Experimental and clinical studies
(2016-05-13)
The aim of this project was to develop a methodological platform in order to advance our scientific understanding of the mechanisms of osseointegration. Screw-shaped, titanium implants, with different surface properties, ...
Effects of antiresorptive agents on inflammation and bone regeneration in different osseous sites - experimental and clinical studies
(2014-09-29)
ABSTRACT
The biological mechanisms involved in bone regeneration in osteoporotic bone and the effect of antiresorptive drugs in relation to surgically inserted biomaterials are not fully understood. Improved osseointegration ...
