Impacts of diffuse urban stressors on stream benthic communities and ecosystem functioning: A review
(Asociación Ibérica de Limnología, 2024)
Catchment urbanisation results in urban streams being exposed to a multitude of stressors. Notably, stressors originating from diffuse sources have received less attention than stressors originating ...
Trophic diversification and parasitic invasion as ecological niche modulators for gut microbiota of whitefish
(Frontiers, 2023-03-14)
Introduction: The impact of parasites on gut microbiota of the host is well documented, but the role of the relationship between the parasite and the host in the formation of the microbiota is poorly ...
Immunomodulation Evidence of Nanostructured Recombinant Proteins in Salmonid Cells
(MDPI, 2024-03-09)
Recent studies have demonstrated that immune-related recombinant proteins can enhance immune function, increasing host survival against infectious diseases in salmonids. This research evaluated inclusion ...
Middle East respiratory coronavirus (MERS-CoV) internalized by llama alveolar macrophages does not result in virus replication or induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Severe Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) is characterized by massive infiltration of immune cells
in lungs. MERS-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) replicates in vitro in human macrophages, inducing high ...
A Protein Misfolding Shaking Amplificationbased method for the spontaneous generation of hundreds of bona fide prions
(Nature Research, 2024-03-08)
Prion diseases are a group of rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disorders
caused by the misfolding of the endogenous prion protein (PrPC) into a
pathogenic form (PrPSc). This process, despite being ...

(BMC, 2024-03-01)
Background Mosquito‑borne diseases are a major concern for public and veterinary health authorities, highlighting
the importance of efective vector surveillance and control programs. Traditional ...
Retos y oportunidades para la evaluación del estado ecológico en ríos temporales
(Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre, 2024-03-06)
Los ríos temporales (RTs) son ecosistemas fluviales en los que los efectos de las perturbaciones antrópicas se mezclan con los de la propia perturbación natural que impone la temporalidad del flujo. A ...
