Biological Validation of Isorhamnetin Glycosides Loaded Nanofibers as a Drug Release System
Nanofibers have emerged as a potential novel platform due to its physicochemical properties for healthcare application. Nanofibers advantage rely in their high specific surface area-tovolume ratio and porosity. Their ...
Ex vivo manufacture of human neutrophils: optimizing the cost of production
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-06-15)
Neutrophils are the most abundant leukocyte in human bloodstream. Nevertheless when neutrophils absolute count (ANC) values are inferior to 1.5x106 cells/mL, an immunocompromising medical condition known as neutropenia ...
Recombinant expression and in silico evaluation of AreV1, an Arenin variant.
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-12-18)
In the last decades, plants and animals described in Traditional Medicine practices have gained importance as sources of bioactive molecules since a great number of compounds have been isolated and characterized to develop ...
Micro-biogeography greatly matters for competition: Continuous-chaotic bioprinting of spatially-controlled bacterial microcosms
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-06-09)
Cells do not work alone but instead function as collaborative micro-societies. Consequently, the spatial distribution of different bacterial strains (micro-biogeography) in a shared volumetric space, and their degree of ...
Auxiliary method based on effective medium theory for biosensing applications using surface plasmon resonance
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-05)
In this thesis, an auxiliary method based on the effective medium theory is applied to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensing in order to extract quantitative properties of the biosensor functionalization. An automatized ...
Effect of a high protein diet from a vegetal and animal source on the Microbiota-Gut-Brain axis in a murine model
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-12-18)
The gut-brain axis is a complex bidirectional communication system that allows an intimate connection between both organs through different mechanisms. Recent studies regarding the gut microbiota now support its prominent ...
Characterization of the spatial variations in the structure and diversity of microbial communities within and between the stages of a wastewater treatment plant based on passive methods
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2017-11-24)
Wastewater is frequently discharged directly to water bodies without any treatment in developing countries. Despite the efforts to treat a higher percentage of sewage, wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) often end up abandoned ...
Bioinformatic analysis of the expression pattern of an intron-retaining isoform of the Agrp transcript in arcuate nucleus neurons of mice
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-12-07)
Known to be the regulatory center of hunger and satiety, the arcuate nucleus (ARC) harbors two neuronal populations that exert opposite effects on the regulation of food intake. Namely, AgRP and POMC neurons respectively ...
Evaluation of the protective effects of Time-Caloric Restriction in liver fibrosis in a DEN model
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-12-07)
Liver fibrosis is, in most cases, the first stage of chronic liver disease. Advanced stages of fibrosis can evolve into cirrhosis and finally trigger hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The liver is the central metabolic organ ...
Culture of Euglena gracilis in photoautotrophy for paramylon production: effect of pH and media composition
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-11-15)
Microalgae have been widely studied in biotechnology for their application in various areas such as bioremediation, production of biofuels, or use in nutrition. More specifically, certain species are recognized to produce ...
