UnknownSocio-Demographic Variables, Fear of COVID-19, Anxiety, and Depression: Prevalence, Relationships and Explanatory Model in the General Population of Seven Latin American Countries.
The COVID-19 pandemic has gravely impacted Latin America. A model was tested that evaluated the contribution of socio-demographic factors and fear of COVID-19 on anxiety and depression in samples of residents in seven Latin American countries (Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia,...

UnknownCross-cultural validation of the new version of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale in twelve Latin American countries.
The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) was recently developed to assess dysfunctional anxiety related to COVID-19. Although different studies reported that the CAS is psychometrically sound, it is unclear whether it is invariant across countries. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the measur...

TranscriptomicsTranscription profiling of human optic nerve head (ONH) astrocytes exposed to either 60 mm Hg hydrostatic pressure (HP) or control ambient pressure (CP) to identify HP-responsive genes
Gene expression in human optic nerve head (ONH) astrocytes exposed to either 60 mm Hg hydrostatic pressure (HP) or control ambient pressure (CP) was compared using Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays to identify HP-responsive genes. Primary ONH astrocytes from two male Caucasian donors (passage 4) were ...

UnknownTrypanosoma cruzi High Mobility Group B (TcHMGB) can act as an inflammatory mediator on mammalian cells.

Background

High Mobility Group B (HMGB) proteins are nuclear architectural factors involved in chromatin remodeling and important nuclear events. HMGBs also play key roles outside the cell acting as alarmins or Damage-associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs). In response to a danger signal thes...

UnknownPhotoluminescent organisms: how to make fungi glow through biointegration with lanthanide metal-organic frameworks.
We show that filamentous fungi can emit green or red light after the accumulation of particulate lanthanide metal-organic frameworks over the cell wall. These new biohybrids present photoluminescence properties that are unaffected by the components of the cell wall. In addition, the fungal cells int...

UnknownNational identity predicts public health support during a global pandemic.
Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic. In a large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors associated with public h...
