Regulating in vivo calcification of alginate microbeads
(2010-04-02)Alginate calcification has been previously reported clinically and during animal implantation; however no study has investigated the mechanism, extensively characterized the mineral, or evaluated multiple methods to regulate ... -
Relación entre las funciones ejecutivas y el rendimiento académico en una muestra de escolares
(2020-07-30)En la última década, la integración entre las neurociencias y la educación hacontribuido a la comprensión y mejoramiento del sistema educativo, además, se ha mostrado un interés en el estudio de las funciones ejecutivas y ... -
A review of therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell secretions and induction of secretory modification by different culture methods
(2014-10-11)The mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) is being broadly studied in clinical trials. Contrary to the early paradigm of cell replacement and differentiation as a therapeutic mechanism of action, evidence is mounting that the ... -
A review of therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell secretions and induction of secretory modification by different culture methods
(Madrigal et al. Journal of Translational Medicine, 2014-10-11)The mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) is being broadly studied in clinical trials. Contrary to the early paradigm of cell replacement and differentiation as a therapeutic mechanism of action, evidence is mounting that the ... -
A review on the wettability of dental implant surfaces I: Theoretical and experimental aspects
(2014-02-28)The surface wettability of biomaterials determines the biological cascade of events at the biomaterial/ host interface. Wettability is modulated by surface characteristics, such as surface chemistry and surface topography. ... -
A review on the wettability of dental implant surfaces II: Biological and clinical aspects
(2014-04-05)Dental and orthopedic implants have been under continuous advancement to improve their interactions with bone and ensure a successful outcome for patients. Surface characteristics such as surface topography and surface ... -

Revisiting Metal Toxicity in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Stroke: Therapeutic Potential
(2014-12-31)Excessive accumulation of pro-oxidant metals, observed in affected brain regions, has consistently been implicated as a contributor to the brain pathology including neurodegenerative diseases and acute injuries such as ... -
Revisiting metal toxicity in neurodegenerative diseases and stroke: Therapeutic potential.
(2015-01-23)Excessive accumulation of pro-oxidant metals, observed in affected brain regions, has consistently been implicated as a ontributor to the brain pathology including neurodegenerative diseases and acute injuries such as ... -
Role of a2b1 integrins in mediating cell shape on microtextured titanium surfaces
(2014-05-07)Surface microroughness plays an important role in determining osteoblast behavior on titanium. Previous studies have shown that osteoblast differentiation on microtextured titanium substrates is dependent on alpha-2 beta-1 ... -
Rough titanium alloys regulate osteoblast production of angiogenic factors
(2013-05-14)Multiple biomaterials are clinically available to spine surgeons for performing interbody fusion. Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is used frequently for lumbar spine interbody fusion, but alternative materials are also used, ... -
Screening and evaluation of antiparasitic and in vitro anticancer activities of Panamanian endophytic fungi
(2011-06-14)Parasitic infections are major causes of human chronic diseases in most countries of the tropics. The parasites include protozoa and helminths, infect billions of people, and the resulting diseases cause debilitating ... -
Screening and evaluation of antiparasitic and in vitro anticancer activities of Panamanian endophytic fungi
(2011-03-30)Many compounds produced by fungi have relevant pharmaceutical applications. The purpose of this study was to collect and isolate endophytic fungi from different regions of Panama and then to test their potential therapeutic ... -
Separation of Plasmodium falciparum Late Stage-infected Erythrocytes by Magnetic Means
(2023-03-02)Unlike other Plasmodium species, P. falciparum can be cultured in the lab, which facilitates its study 1. While the parasitemia achieved can reach the ≈40% limit, the investigator usually keeps the percentage at around ... -

Serum samples can be substituted by plasma samples for the diagnosis of paratuberculosis
(2013-01-01)Employing plasma samples rather than serum samples for serological paratuberculosis diagnosis is practical, especially when bovine TB is assessed in the same cattle herd with the gamma interferon bovine avian (IFN- BA) ... -
Short Report: Anopheles darlingi (Diptera: Culicidae) in Panama
(2009-02-11)We report Anopheles darlingi in Darien Province in eastern Panama. Polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles of the single copy nuclear white gene and sequence comparisons confirmed the ... -
Simplified Model to Survey Tuberculosis Transmission in Countries Without Systematic Molecular Epidemiology Programs
(2019-03-01)Systematic molecular/genomic epidemiology studies for tuberculosis surveillance cannot be implemented in many countries. We selected Panama as a model for an alternative strategy. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive ...
