I. eaf Litter and Leaf Age as Factors Affecting the Assemblage of Endophytes Associated with
(2006-08-01)Particular importance has been given to the potential effect of forest canopy on enhancing the rate of initial endophytic fungi colonization of seedlings. Here we compare the rate of endophyte accumulation when endophyte-free ... -
Imaging mass spectrometry and MS/MS molecular networking reveals chemical interactions among cuticular bacteria and pathogenic fungi associated with fungus-growing ants
(2017-07-17)The fungus-growing ant-microbe symbiosis is an ideal system to study chemistry-based microbial interactions due to the wealth of microbial interactions described, and the lack of information on the molecules involved ... -

The impact of biological invasion and genomic local adaptation on the geographical distribution of Aedes aegypti in Panama
(2019-01-01)Local adaptation is an important consideration when predicting arthropod-borne disease risk because it can impact on vector population fitness and persistence. However, the extent that vector populations are adapted to ... -
Implant osseointegration and the role of microroughness and nanostructures: Lessons for spine implants
(2014-04-08)The use of spinal implants for spine fusion has been steadily increasing to avoid the risks of complications and donor site morbidity involved when using autologous bone. A variety of fusion cages are clinically available, ... -
In vitro and in vivo experimental models for drug screening and development for Chagas disease
(2010-03-02)Chagas disease, a neglected illness, affects nearly 12-14 million people in endemic areas of Latin America. Although the occurrence of acute cases sharply has declined due to Southern Cone Initiative efforts to control ... -
In vitro evidence that an aqueous extract of Centella asiatica modulates α-synuclein aggregation dynamics.
(2014-01-01)α-Synuclein aggregation is one of the major etiological factors implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD). The prevention of ggregation of α-synuclein is a potential therapeutic intervention for preventing PD. The discovery ... -
An Inducible Alpha-Synuclein Expressing Neuronal Cell Line Model for Parkinson’s Disease
(2018-11-08)Altered expression of α-synuclein is linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD). A major challenge to explore how the increased α-synuclein affect neurotoxicity is the lack of a suitable human neuronal cell model that mimics this ... -
Inflammatory Biomarkers, Depressive Symptoms and Falls Among the elderly in Panama
(Current Aging Science, 2018-01-01)Background: Falls are common among elderly adults, and are predictors of hospitalization, institutionalization and mortality. Objective: The objective of the present study was to examine the relationship between blood-based ... -
Influencias del paisaje, climatología y manejo agrícola sobre la biodiversidad asociada a viña: efectos sobre servicios ecosistémicos y sostenibilidad frente a cambio global (Proyecto BA C O)
(2016-11-01)Dentro de un contexto dominado por el cambio rápido y frecuente, es básico analizar sus efectos sobre la biodiversidad y los servicios ecosistémicos que ésta provee. El cultivo de la viña es uno de los sistemas agrícolas ... -
Intestinal volvulus in the pump twin of a twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence after laser therapy at 18 weeks: a case report
(2020-08-08)Background: Twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence is a rare and potentially lethal condition affecting approximately 1% of monochorionic twin pregnancies and 1 in 35,000 pregnancies overall. An apparently normal (pump) ... -
L-Asparaginase a Biotherapeutic for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia-A Molecular Perspective
(2017-10-01)L-asparaginase (L-asparagine amino hydrolase) is an enzyme which was clinically proved as an antitumor agent to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It catalyzes L-asparagine hydrolysis to L-aspartate and ammonia, and the ... -
Leaf-inhabiting genera of the Gnomoniaceae, Diaporthales
(Studies in Mycology, 2008-01-01)The Gnomoniaceae are characterised by ascomata that are generally immersed, solitary, without a stroma, or aggregated with a rudimentary stroma, in herbaceous plant material especially in leaves, twigs or stems, ... -
The lipid content and fatty acid composition of four eastern central Pacific native fish species
(2014-02-01)Fish is an important source of nutritious n-3 fatty acids, which are necessary for the prevention of cardiovascular and neurological diseases. The lipid content and fatty acid composition of economically important fishes ... -
Malarial hemozoin: From target to tool
(2014-02-17)Malaria is an extremely devastating disease that continues to affect millions of people each year. A distinctive attribute of malaria infected red blood cells is the presence of malarial pigment or so-called hemozoin. ... -
