Accelerated Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Enzymatic Degradation by Room Temperature Alkali Pre-treatment for Reduced Polymer Crystallinity
(Wiley, 2022-11-07)
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most widely employed plastic for single-use applications. The use of enzymes isolated from microorganisms, such as PETase with the capacity to hydrolyze PET into its monomers, ...
Paclitaxel-Induced Epidermal Alterations: An In Vitro Preclinical Assessment in Primary Keratinocytes and in a 3D Epidermis Model
(MDPI, 2022-01-22)
Paclitaxel is a microtubule-stabilizing chemotherapeutic agent approved for the treatment
of ovarian, non-small cell lung, head, neck, and breast cancers. Despite its beneficial effects on
cancer and widespread use, ...
Untargeted metabolomics approach using UHPLC-IMS-QTOF MS for surface body samples to identify low-volatility chemosignals related to maternal care in mice
(Elsevier, 2023)
The present study is focused on the determination of low-volatile chemosignals excreted or secreted by mouse pups in their early days of life involved in maternal care induction in mice adult females. Untargeted metabolomics ...
Calcium-binding proteins in the dorsal ventricular ridge of the lizard Psammodromus algirus
(Wiley, 1999-03)
The aim of the present work was to study further the intrinsic organization of the dorsal ventricular ridge of lizards. For that purpose, the morphology and distribution of cells and fibers containing the calcium-binding ...
Tuning the brain for motherhood: prolactin-like central signalling in virgin, pregnant, and lactating female mice
(Springer, 2016-06)
Prolactin is fundamental for the expression of maternal behaviour. In virgin female rats, prolactin administered upon steroid hormone priming accelerates the onset of maternal care. By contrast, the role of prolactin in ...
Sex pheromones are not always attractive: changes induced by learning and illness in mice
(Elsevier, 2014-11)
A male-specific major urinary protein named darcin is attractive to female mice, Mus musculus, stimulates a learned attraction to volatile components of a male's urinary odour and induces spatial learning. In this article ...
Distribution of oxytocin and co-localization with arginine vasopressin in the brain of mice
(Springer Verlag, 2015-09-20)
Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) play a major role in social behaviours. Mice have become the species of choice for neurobiology of social behaviour due to identification of mouse pheromones and the advantage of genetically ...
Extending the socio-sexual brain: arginine-vasopressin immunoreactive circuits in the telencephalon of mice
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014-05)
Quantitative analysis of the immunoreactivity for arginine-vasopressin (AVP-ir) in the telencephalon of male (intact and castrated) and female CD1 mice allows us to precisely locate two sexually dimorphic (more abundant ...
Sexual pheromones and the evolution of the reward system of the brain: The chemosensory function of the amygdala
(Elsevier, 2008-03)
The amygdala of all tetrapod vertebrates receives direct projections from the main and accessory olfactory bulbs, and the strong similarities in the organization of these projections suggest that they have undergone a very ...
Refining the dual olfactory hypothesis: Pheromone reward and odour experience
(Elsevier, 2009-06)
In rodents, sexual advertisement and gender recognition are mostly (if not exclusively) mediated by chemosignals. Specifically, there is ample evidence indicating that female mice are ‘innately’ attracted by male sexual ...
