Biological and geological characterization of modern biofilms and microbial mats and comparison with similar lithified structures in Colombian Cretaceous formations

open access: yesEarth Sciences Research Journal, 2018
Microorganisms may play an important role in the aggregation of sediments and the formation of sedimentary structures. Biofilms are microbial aggregates that, in a mature stage, can develop into microbial mats, fibrillar networks that irreversibly bind ...

Predictive biosignature of major depressive disorder derived from physiological measurements of outpatients using machine learning

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) has heterogeneous manifestations, leading to difficulties in predicting the evolution of the disease and in patient's follow-up.

Modern microbial landscape: Aerial mapping of microbially induced sedimentary structures forming in a coastal sabkha

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) are considered important for understanding primitive life on Earth and for guiding the search for life on other planets. These structures are regarded as macroscopic fossils of early communities of unicellular organisms that did not produce skeletons or shells. In this study, field observations

Early evolution of purple retinal pigments on Earth and implications for exoplanet biosignatures

open access: yes, 2018
We propose that retinal-based phototrophy arose early in the evolution of life on Earth, profoundly impacting the development of photosynthesis and creating implications for the search for life beyond our planet.

Whole blood transcriptional profiles as a prognostic tool in complete and incomplete Kawasaki Disease. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:Early identification of children with Kawasaki Disease (KD) is key for timely initiation of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. However, the diagnosis of the disease remains challenging, especially in children with an incomplete ...

Biosignature Anisotropy Modeled on Temperate Tidally Locked M-dwarf Planets

open access: yes, 2018
A planet's atmospheric constituents (e.g., O$_2$, O$_3$, H$_2$O$_v$, CO$_2$, CH$_4$, N$_2$O) can provide clues to its surface habitability, and may offer biosignature targets for remote life detection efforts.

High‐Resolution Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging With Self‐Gated Self‐Supervised Unrolled Reconstruction

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 2852-2862, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose High‐resolution diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) is clinically demanding. The purpose of this work is to develop an efficient self‐supervised algorithm unrolling technique for submillimeter‐resolution DWI. Methods We developed submillimeter DWI acquisition utilizing multi‐band multi‐shot EPI with diffusion shift encoding.

Reprogramming of Small Noncoding RNA Populations in Peripheral Blood Reveals Host Biomarkers for Latent and Active Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

open access: yesmBio, 2019
In tuberculosis (TB), as in other infectious diseases, studies of small noncoding RNAs (sncRNA) in peripheral blood have focused on microRNAs (miRNAs) but have neglected the other major sncRNA classes in spite of their potential functions in host gene ...

A New Family of Planets ? "Ocean Planets"

open access: yes, 2003
A new family of planets is considered which is between rochy terrestrial planets and gaseous giant ones: "Ocean-Planets". We present the possible formation, composition and internal models of these putative planets, including that of their ocean, as well
